Tyson Fury aims fresh dig at Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk as he extends AJ contract ‘deadline’

Tyson Fury has mocked both Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk but has also revealed that his ‘deadline’ for AJ to sign to fight him has been extended.

The Gypsy King had set Monday as a deadline for Joshua to sign to fight him on 3 December, despite all promoters involved saying that negotiations were progressing well but still ongoing.

With Monday coming and going it appeared that the fight was off, but now Fury has revealed that he was persuaded by Frank Warren to extend his self-imposed ‘deadline’ on discussions.

It now seems that Fury wants contracts signed by the end of Thursday, keeping hopes of the all-British bout alive, but whether that is now a head deadline or not is yet to be seen.

In a video posted on social media, Fury said: ‘Right, Anthony Joshua, where do we start? The deadline was Monday, Frank Warren convinced me to let it carry on for another couple of days.

‘Today is Thursday, and even though I knew you wouldn’t sign this contract I allowed Frank to continue doing meetings with your team, your broadcasters and all that.

‘Now we have BT, DAZN and ESPN all on the same page. They are happy with everything, ready to rock n roll.

‘You guys asked for a lot of stuff. You wanted to be co-promoters when you’re a voluntary challenger. I said, give it to them.

‘You wanted full transparency, even though you’re not an equal shareholder in this party. I said, give them full transparency, I’ve got nothing to hide, I’m not trying to rob anybody.
