I won’t give Joshua second chance – Fury

By Daily Sports Nigeria on February 17, 2023

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will not give Anthony Joshua a second chance to fight him after the British-Nigerian failed to meet his two deadlines last November for a December fight.

Fury says he will not open a second round of negotiations with Joshua because he has moved on permanently.

“Not interested in any Joshua questions. Zero. In my eyes, the man is dead,” Tyson Fury told Sportbible about his lack of interest in fighting Joshua.

“There’s no business between me and him. Complete. From 2017 to, however long ago, 2022 – trying to put up a fight. So it’s not happening,” Fury said.

In 2021, Joshua and Fury’s teams tried to make the fight happen but things got derailed after an arbitrator ruled that Fury was obligated to instead rematch former champion Deontay Wilder.

In a more recent attempt, in 2022, Fury publicly challenged Joshua on social media, but once again, despite both teams working on trying to make a deal, the fight didn’t happen.

The 34-year-old who has little time left before retirement, wants to face Francis Ngannou in a two-fight deal if his negotiations with Oleksandr Usyk don’t go through.

“My offer to Ngannou is on the table. Like I said, if Usyk doesn’t fight, I’ll try to get the Ngannou to fight,” Fury said.

“I’ll do a two-fight deal in a boxing ring and cage. In a boxing ring it would be a pointless competition.”

Fury is reportedly asking for a lot of money for a fight with Usyk in Saudi Arabia and according to Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, the Saudis don’t want to meet his high price.

In 2022, Fury defended his WBC title against Chisora and Dillian Whyte. He had hoped to next challenge Usyk for the undisputed championship but things are not looking good unless the money comes from the Saudis.
