Fury Challenges Joshua to a Fight: 'Now or Never'
Tyson Fury has issued a challenge to Anthony Joshua, urging him to accept a fight. Fury claims to have signed for the highly anticipated all-British bout, but Joshua has yet to agree. Fury stated, 'He either wants to do it or he doesn't,' and expressed frustration at Joshua's hesitation. The two boxers have been rivals since Fury's rise to world champion in 2015 and Joshua's rapid ascent after the 2012 Olympics. Despite several near-agreements, the fight remains unconfirmed. Fury addressed Joshua directly after his recent win, calling for a face-off in the ring, but Joshua did not commit to the fight. Fury characterized Joshua's response as evasive, saying, 'He didn't want no smoke. He didn't want it.' Fury's manager and promoter have added to the confusion, with the former stating they are unaware of any confirmation and the latter claiming Joshua is the only one holding up the fight. Fury has threatened to quit boxing if the fight does not happen, saying, 'It's either him or I'm gone again.'
