Fury calls off fight with Anthony Joshua after deadline elapses

World heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has called off his proposed fight with Anthony Joshua.

Fury had set a deadline for Joshua to sign contract papers for the fight on Monday but he did not put pen to paper before the ultimatum.

The all-British heavyweight battle was proposed to take place on December 3 at the Principality Stadium with a 60-40 split in the champion’s favour, a 50-50 rematch clause.

“Well guys, it’s official, D-day has come and gone,” Fury said in an Instagram video. “It’s gone past 5pm Monday, no contract has been signed.

“It’s officially over for Joshua, he is now out in the cold with the wolfpack.

“Forget about it, idiot, coward, s***house, bodybuilder. Always knew it, always knew he didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King.

“Regardless of what the f*** you say now, I don’t really care. Good luck with your career and your life, end of, peace out.”

Earlier this month, Fury called out Joshua for a fight after he suffered his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk and he agreed terms for the fight with a social media video.
