Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: AJ accepts Gypsy King's demands for fight
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua looks set to finally go ahead with AJ’s camp stating they have accepted the terms on the table from Frank Warren and The Gypsy King.
After losing to Oleksandr Usyk, it looked as though AJ’s chance at a title shot were over for the foreseeable future, with Fury taking the Ukrainian on in an undisputed bout.
However, Usyk now wants time away from the sport, with the fight likely to happen next year, which could still be an undisputed clash if the WBC champion betters AJ to keep his title.
According to news breaking coming from his camp this morning, Joshua has accepted the terms to the fight, with talkSPORT’s Michael Benson sharing the news on social media.
He tweeted: “Anthony Joshua has now accepted all terms to fight Tyson Fury on Dec 3rd, his management company 258MGT have confirmed. This was agreed on Friday. They added: ‘Due to the Queen’s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication. We are awaiting a response.’”
It finally looks to be going ahead with the full official announcement surely only a matter of days away now, potentially after the Queen’s funeral as both parties clearly want to respect the mourning period the country is in.
Fury had claimed that a 60-40 split of the fight purse was offered to Joshua, which was much more than he’d be offering to anyone else in that situation. Fury is desperate to prove himself once and for all as the best British fighter around.
