Fury and Joshua have spent months trying to finalize their highly anticipated heavyweight matchup, but negotiations have stalled over the location. Fury's side has pushed for the fight to take place in the United States, while Joshua and Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn have favored England.
Tyson Fury says Anthony Joshua fight is ‘going nowhere’ amid location dispute
Fury took to Instagram and claimed that Joshua is the primary roadblock for the fight coming to fruition.
“The facts are you don’t want to fight,” Fury said in an Instagram video. “Because if you did, you’d be ready to rock and roll like I am. Tyson Fury has already said 1,000 times will fight anywhere, no problem at all. Turki Alalshikh has paid you tens of millions to fight and you’re still acting like little b*tches. It is what it is. There’s nothing I can do. I can’t make a coward fight, can I?”
Fury directed more criticism towards Joshua for not overruling Hearn’s stance regarding the location. He then revealed that he’s now looking for other matchups.
“If A.J. was any sort of man, he’d overrule the sausage [Eddie Hearn] and he’d stand up and fight, but obviously he’s not,” Fury added. “One thing for sure is I won’t wait for a sausage who’s been knocked spark out by Daniel Dubois. I’ve waited 10 years for this; I’ve been ready every time. Every single time. But one thing I won’t be doing is wasting my later years at 38 years old with a freak who doesn’t want to fight. So, I will move on… There are plenty of world champions out there who do want to fight, who do want to make some money, so I’ll be giving them a knock. This is going nowhere. As always, 10 years later, still in the same boat. Still dragging on by a mouthpiece who’s an absolute piece of sh*t.”
