Tyson Fury says Joshua fight cancelled and seeks Usyk rematch

Tyson Fury has publicly criticised Anthony Joshua, describing the former heavyweight champion as “weak‑minded” for his inability to finalize a date and venue for a potential bout between the two fighters. In a recent interview, Fury said Joshua’s indecision is “holding the division back” and suggested that a clear agreement on logistics is essential for the fight to move forward. The comments come as both camps have been negotiating terms for a clash that would likely become one of the sport’s biggest events.

Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that discussions are ongoing but noted that Joshua’s team has yet to present a definitive schedule, citing concerns over venue capacity, broadcast rights, and the heavyweight calendar. Fury’s camp, represented by Frank Warren, has indicated willingness to accommodate a range of locations, provided the fight can be secured within the next six months. Analysts point out that the rivalry between the two former world champions has generated significant fan interest, and a resolution could reshape the heavyweight landscape.

If an agreement is reached, the fight is expected to attract a global audience and substantial revenue, potentially setting new benchmarks for pay‑per‑view sales. Both fighters remain active in the division, with upcoming defenses likely to influence the timing of the showdown. The next few weeks will be pivotal in determining whether the bout materializes or remains in negotiation.
