Tyson
Fury appears to have run out of patience with the long-running
saga involving Anthony
Joshua.
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.”
