Fury: Joshua's Money Demands Stall Mega-Fight
21 Aug
Summary
- Tyson Fury claims Anthony Joshua requested more money.
- The potential fight was discussed for November in New York.
- Fury suggested the bout may not proceed due to financial demands.
Tyson Fury has cast significant doubt on the upcoming fight with fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua. Fury took to social media to claim that Joshua has requested a higher purse, potentially jeopardizing the bout scheduled for November.
Discussions were reportedly centered around Madison Square Garden in New York as the venue for this long-awaited clash. However, Fury's recent statement suggests that Joshua's team is seeking increased financial terms.
According to Fury, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn and Joshua himself have already benefited substantially from various deals, making their demand for more money from Turki Alalshikh audacious. Fury concluded his video by calling his rivals "cowards."
Despite Fury's public comments, Sky Sports has learned that Anthony Joshua has indeed signed a contract for the fight, and his promoter Matchroom is actively working towards an official announcement.
