Fury ultimatum to Joshua: If I don’t decide by Monday, I’ll move on

Tyson Fury has given Anthony Joshua an ultimatum.

Tyson Fury is no longer optimistic about securing a big heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua.

The WBC champion has called on Joshua to sign the contract by Monday or he will walk away from the deal.

“We’ll know by Monday anyway [if the super-fight will go ahead] because if it’s not done by Monday I’ll go ahead,” Fury said, speaking to his promoter Queensberry.

Joshua’s representatives have received a contract and talks between the rival promoters are by all accounts amicable. But time is of the essence if a major fight is to be fought by early December.

“I was optimistic about three weeks ago but it shouldn’t take that long to sign a contact,” Fury said.

“I’m not waiting for a guy who has lost three of his last five games. He’s lucky I’m giving him a world title match. If not, he will have to wait a long time to get another one,” he concluded.

It remains to be seen if Joshua will respond to Fury’s ultimatum.
