'It's just a SHAMBLES': Anthony Joshua takes a swipe at Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk after the pair failed to agree their undisputed heavyweight title clash for this summer

Tyson Fury's fight cancelation with Oleksandr Usyk has earned 'The Gypsy King' the disdain of Anthony Joshua.

Sadly, the fight won't be happening now, and Queensbury Promotions has already booked a massive venue. 'The Gypsy King' famously booked the gigantic Wembley Stadium for his bout with 'The Cat'. That was supposedly the breaking point, and the two won't be clashing on their April 29th targeted date. Talks appeared to be going well in December, as Usyk and Fury even had a face-off after the latter's win over Derek Chisora. In response, the Ukrainian agreed, but quickly more issues arose. Fury disagreed, believing he was a far bigger draw, and demanded a 70/30 revenue split.

Former world heavyweight champion remains hopeful of setting up fight with Tyson Fury.

I want to secure the bag and move on with my life. That is music to the ears of Joshua who said: “I dream big, and I want bigger and better things in my life. “When you’re trying to compete, all the mandatories and negotiations, I just can’t believe no fights have been made at a championship level.

Hearn claimed earlier this week that he was confident Fury and Joshua would fight this summer.

That became part of the downfall of the fight with Usyk.” “George said it was less than a 30-second conversation and we’ve not even discussed it with Tyson.

On the balance of probability and in this case, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Boxing fans only need to think back to the time he got in the ring with Deontay Wilder in 2018 when defeat seemed a certainty after years of inaction. Fury put on a performance that stunned the world with his spine-tingling bravery.
