Fury claims Joshua fight off, calls out Usyk for third bout

Tyson Fury has suggested his all-British fight with Anthony Joshua is off and has challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a third fight in November.

  • Fury said Joshua has 's**t his pants' and turned his attention to Usyk.
  • Fury lost to Usyk twice on points in 2024.
  • Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn previously said an agreement hinged on Joshua's net purse.

Tyson Fury has suggested his all-British blockbuster bout with Anthony Joshua is off and has challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a third fight.

Fury and Joshua have been locked in negotiations over a mega-money bout, but the 'Gypsy King' has grown impatient at a lack of confirmation. In a social media post, Fury said Joshua had 's**t his pants again' and called on Usyk to fight him in November.

Fury, who lost to Usyk twice on points in 2024, said: 'You got the decisions last time, fair play to you. Good luck to you, let's do it again. Let's run it back in November. The ball is now in your court.'

Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has previously said an agreement hinged on his client's net purse. New York's Madison Square Garden was widely expected to be announced as the venue, despite Joshua's camp preferring Wembley Stadium, as Sela, the Saudi state-owned promotional company financing the fight, wanted a bigger American audience on Netflix.

Why this matters: The potential collapse of a long-awaited all-British heavyweight fight and a possible third Fury-Usyk clash would reshape the heavyweight boxing landscape.

What this means for you: Boxing fans may see a third Fury-Usyk fight instead of the anticipated Fury-Joshua bout.
