Fury Slams Joshua's 'Evasive' Behavior: 'Let's Settle This Once and For All'
Tyson Fury has issued an ultimatum to Anthony Joshua, demanding that he commit to their highly anticipated showdown. Fury revealed that he has already signed for the fight, but Joshua has yet to agree. 'I'm not interested in setting deadlines,' Fury stated. 'He either wants to fight or he doesn't.' The rivalry between the two boxing giants has been building since Fury's first world championship win in 2015 and Joshua's rapid rise after the 2012 Olympics. Despite several near-misses, the fight seemed imminent after Fury's recent victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov. However, Joshua's lack of confirmation and reluctance to face off with Fury in the ring has left the latter frustrated. 'He was evasive and didn't provide any clear answers,' Fury said. 'In my opinion, he didn't want to fight.' Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, attributed the delay to Joshua, saying, 'One man is holding up the fight.' Fury's frustration has reached a boiling point, with him threatening to quit boxing if the fight doesn't happen next. 'If it's not Anthony Joshua, I'm not interested in boxing,' he declared. 'I only care about this fight; it's the defining moment for British boxing.'
