Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Gypsy King sends clear message using entire theatre of fans
Tyson Fury has taken an unusual step in trying to convince Anthony Joshua to agree to a huge heavyweight title fight.
He urged a theatre full of his fans to sing along in an attempt to try and get AJ to finally sign a contract that would confirm a fight between the two.
It looked like negotiations were going well at this time last week but in recent days, Fury has started to doubt that a bout may happen.
That will be bad news to the ears of many fight fans and that is probably why the Gypsy King tried to use his supporters to his advantage.
The WBC champion offered AJ the fight after he was defeated for the second time by Oleksandr Usyk in Saudia Arabia last month.

Joshua was hoping to regain the WBA, WBO and IBF belts that he initially lost to the Ukrainian in 2021.
Fury, though, has had his say and he says he will be fighting this year, no matter what.
The 34-year-old said: “I will be fighting on 3 December if [Joshua] does not sign this contract, which I don’t think he will.
“You’ve had the contract for I don’t know how long and ain’t signing it. You do not want to fight.”
The Gypsy King may of course be saying this to try and get boxing fans to put pressure on AJ to sign the contract.
He has done his best already to get his fans to put pressure on the former world champion and he posted a video to Instagram of the singalong.
