Tyson Fury Claims Fight with Anthony Joshua May Fall Through
Tyson Fury has stated that his long-anticipated fight against Anthony Joshua is in serious jeopardy, claiming that Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of the match. The fight, which is set to take place at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11, was confirmed by Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh after months of negotiations.
Fury accused Hearn of making excuses and suggested that alternative fighters are being sought. Both Fury and Joshua, former heavyweight world champions, have a history of rivalry marked by callouts and trash talk, but difficulties in finalizing the deal have persisted.
Joshua's recent performance, where he was knocked down twice by Kristian Prenga before winning, and Fury's unusual path back to the ring after announcing retirement, have added complications to the fight's organization.
