Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua reportedly in jeopardy, Fury responds to ‘s***house cowards’ Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn
Tyson Fury rips into Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn after latest reports of cancelling their fight
The highly anticipated boxing match between British heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua may be in jeopardy. Initial plans had the bout taking place on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. However, recent reports suggest that the event is at risk due to disagreements between Joshua, promoter Eddie Hearn, and UFC CEO Dana White.
Joshua and Hearn are reportedly unwilling to allow White, the organizer of the UFC, to be involved in the fight. This stance conflicts with the financial backing of the event, which is provided by Turki Alalshikh, co-founder of White’s Zuffa Boxing. Alalshikh wants White to serve as the promoter for the bout. As a result, negotiations have stalled, and Fury has expressed his frustration on social media.
Fury criticized Joshua and Hearn, calling them "little shithouse cowards" and accusing Hearn's ego of causing the setback. The British fighter vowed to return to the United Kingdom and defeat Joshua in front of his fans. Despite the controversy, the Fury-Joshua fight remains scheduled for December. However, if negotiations continue to fail, a replacement fight between Terence Crawford and Ryan Garcia is being considered.
