Tyson Fury Claims Joshua Fight Is in Jeopardy Again
Tyson Fury has indicated that his highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua, set for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, is once again in jeopardy. Negotiations had seemingly progressed, with all parties announcing the bout.
However, complications arose when Dana White of Zuffa Boxing was listed as a promoter alongside Saudi figure Turki Alalshikh, which led to objections from Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn. Fury accused Joshua and Hearn of attempting to withdraw from the fight, labeling them as "cowards" on social media.
He claimed that Hearn's ego was causing issues and suggested that Alalshikh is seeking alternative fighters to replace Joshua. Fury's statements included strong language directed at both Joshua and Hearn, expressing frustration over the potential cancellation of what he termed "the biggest fight in boxing history.".
