  "account": "London, September 7 — Fury has expressed frustration over the talks for his anticipated all-British heavyweight bout with Anthony Joshua, and has instead called for a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk. The \"Gypsy King\" has accused Joshua of backing out of the fight, dubbing him a \"coward\" in a recent Instagram video. Fury, 38, stated that he expects to face Usyk next in November, adding that he is now seeking a new opponent if Joshua declines. Fury has previously lost to Usyk twice, while Joshua has been under the guidance of Usyk's training team. The location of the fight remains unclear, with Madison Square Garden and Wembley Stadium being the primary candidates. Sela, the Saudi-backed promoter, and Netflix are reportedly leaning towards staging the event in the United States.",
