Fury Slams Joshua's 'Evasive' Stance: 'It's Now or Never'

Tyson Fury has issued a challenge to Anthony Joshua, demanding he commit to a highly anticipated all-British showdown. Fury revealed he has signed for the fight, but Joshua has yet to agree. Fury stated, 'I don't want to set any deadlines. He either wants to do it or he doesn't.' The prospect of this fight has been building since Fury first became a world champion in 2015 and Joshua rose through the ranks after his Olympic win in 2012. Following Fury's recent comeback victory, he directly addressed Joshua, who was ringside, and called for the fight. However, Joshua did not confirm the fight and declined to face off with Fury in the ring. Fury expressed frustration, characterizing Joshua's response as 'evasive' and claimed he 'didn't look like he wanted it.' Fury's manager and promoter both denied reports that the fight was set for the autumn, with the promoter stating, 'It's one man holding the fight up.' Fury emphasized his desire for the fight, saying, 'If it isn't Anthony Joshua next, I'm not interested in boxing.' He views this as the defining fight for British boxing and is willing to walk away if it doesn't happen.
