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

Tyson Fury is urging Anthony Joshua to commit to their highly anticipated all-British showdown, revealing he has already signed for the fight. Fury expressed frustration over Joshua's reluctance to confirm the bout, stating that his rival's hesitation is the only obstacle holding it up. The two boxing heavyweights have been on a collision course since Fury's rise to world champion in 2015 and Joshua's rapid ascent after the 2012 Olympics. Following Fury's recent win against Arslanbek Makhmudov, he directly called out Joshua, who was in attendance, to step into the ring and finalize the matchup. However, Joshua remained noncommittal, prompting Fury to characterize his response as evasive and claim that he seemed uninterested in the fight. The uncertainty surrounding the bout has been ongoing for years, with both fighters coming close to an agreement on several occasions. Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, emphasized that Joshua is the only one who can confirm the fight, while Fury himself has threatened to walk away from boxing if the matchup does not materialize.
