Fury Calls Joshua Coward, Doubts Super-Fight's Future

Fury Calls Joshua Coward, Doubts Super-Fight's Future

Tyson Fury publicly criticized Anthony Joshua, calling him a coward and expressing doubts about their proposed super-fight, which was expected to take place in November. Fury stated that the fight “doesn’t look like it’s going to happen,” attributing the uncertainty to disagreements over the venue.

Joshua’s camp has signed for the fight to occur in the United Kingdom, while Saudi organizers are advocating for a move to the United States, specifically New York's Madison Square Garden, to attract American audiences. Fury accused Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn of being “disgusting” and “money-thirsty,” claiming they are reluctant to sign the fight due to financial demands.

Hearn confirmed that he sent Sela a list of proposed changes, focusing on improved compensation for Joshua due to differing tax implications. The situation is further complicated by Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, which Hearn alleges has influenced Saudi officials to favor the US venue.

Fury indicated he would welcome White's involvement in negotiations.
