The wait for a showdown between the two former world heavyweight champions continues amid another round of verbal sparring.

Fury hits out at ‘coward’ Joshua as ‘Battle of Britain’ talks go on

Tyson Fury lashed out at fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua, calling him a coward, as talks for their highly anticipated "Battle of Britain" heavyweight championship fight continue to stall. Fury, 38, took to his Instagram account on Wednesday to express his frustration with Joshua, 36. The two former world heavyweight champions are expected to face off on November 20, with Madison Square Garden in New York City as the likely venue, though London's Wembley Stadium is also being considered.

Fury criticized Joshua for his apparent reluctance to fight, stating, "I feel like you're a coward... You've had many opportunities to fight me, but deep down you've never really wanted it, so let's see if you're going to man up for a final time."
