Tyson Fury has accused fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua of being a coward in the run-up to their highly anticipated "Battle of Britain" rematch. The 38-year-old Fury took to Instagram to berate his compatriot in a video, while the wait for confirmation of the fight continues. Both boxing heavyweights are expected to clash on November 20, with Madison Square Garden in New York potentially serving as the neutral venue, though Joshua favors London's Wembley Stadium.
The Saudi-backed promotional company financing the bout prefers an American audience and the exposure that Netflix could provide. Fury, who has visited every location mentioned, including England, Ireland, Las Vegas, and New York, expressed frustration, stating, "I've said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, every single time. Zero stipulations."
Fury believes Joshua doesn't genuinely want the fight and is merely "conning everybody." He added, "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." Joshua, 36, recently defeated the unknown Kristian Prenga in two rounds in July.
