Fury Demands Immediate Showdown with 'Evasive' Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury has issued an ultimatum to Anthony Joshua, urging him to commit to a highly anticipated all-British heavyweight fight. Fury revealed that he has already signed for the bout, but Joshua has yet to agree. 'I don't want to set any deadlines,' Fury stated. 'He either wants to do it or he doesn't.' The boxing world has been eagerly awaiting a matchup between the two since Fury's rise to world champion in 2015 and Joshua's rapid ascent after the 2012 Olympics. Following Fury's recent victory, he directly addressed Joshua, who was in attendance, and called for the fight. However, Joshua did not confirm the bout, leading Fury to express frustration and characterize Joshua's response as evasive. 'He was very evasive and didn't give any definitive answers,' Fury said. 'In my opinion, he didn't want to fight.' The uncertainty surrounding the fight has continued, with Fury's team denying reports of a confirmed autumn date. Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, attributed the delay to Joshua, stating, 'It's one man holding the fight up.' Fury has now stated that if the fight with Joshua does not happen next, he will lose interest in boxing and consider retirement.
