Tyson agrees to give AJ’s team another chance to sign a fight contract
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KO) turned to Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) with a proposal to complete negotiations on a joint fight in the near future.
“This is a message from Anthony Joshua. My promoter Frank Warren convinced me to allow Queensberry to continue negotiations with your team this week, even though I knew you would never be in this fight.”
“I was just told that BT, Dazn, ESPN – all broadcasters are happy with the conditions and are ready to support this fight. Your side has received a contract that allows you to see every agreement with any partners in this fight. We agreed to organize this event cleanly, honestly and transparently.”
“I made a bet with Frank that no matter what we offer you, you won’t take this fight. So decide: either I win this argument and you show the public what a coward you are, or get your lawyers and team on the phone with me today. We are open to this, as we are all the time, and get a signed contract.”
“You have this contract for two weeks now, my team managed to settle everything with TV companies, tickets, venue, everything is ready to go. You had 14 days and you did nothing. Make this fight for the British boxing community. Don’t be a coward, get your team to see through this deal.”
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, said that Tyson was disappointed with the situation around the fight against Joshua and switched to a fight with Manuel Charr.
Fury has previously stated that he no longer intends to fight Joshua, as the time for reflection for Anthony is up. Tyson gave an ultimatum to Joshua to sign a contract by Monday, September 26th. Fury said that the negotiations were too long and he did not want Anthony to dictate his terms to him.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said there was no chance of signing an agreement in such a short time. According to Hearn, in this way Fury decided to avoid a fight.
