Fans fear Fury is avoiding Joshua
Please share this story:
Fans fear Tyson Fury has gone far too quiet, casting doubt on confirmation of heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua.
Joshua agreed to Fury's terms for a pre-Christmas showdown that the public had wanted for so long, but seemed in danger of never happening.
A 60-40 purse split in favor of Fury as WBC world heavyweight champion had already been agreed upon and now Joshua has compromised on a December 3 date for the one of the greatest battles in British boxing history.< /p>
The deadly duo will finally meet under the retractable roof of Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
Fury had suspended talks out of respect for global mourning over the Queen's death, but Joshua encouraged talks to continue by asking his own management company, 258, to complete the deal .
"258 and Matchroom Boxing can confirm, on behalf of Anthony Joshua, that we have accepted all of the terms presented to us by the Fury team for a fight on December 3," said tweeted 258 on Tuesday. Due to the Queen's death, it was agreed to stop all communication. We are waiting for a response."
Joshua's team quickly received one on Twitter from Fury's promoter Frank Warren on Twitter as he replied, "Contract will be with you very soon."
Since Joshua accepted the fight, however, it has been radio silence from The Gypsy King on social media, which is not like him at all.
Fans are apparently concerned the fight is actually happening, with Fury not posting since the latest from Joshua.
One fan said, "Fury will pull himself out of the fight. Let's not forget he claimed he was on board the fight against AJ and lied that he didn't know Wilder arbitration.
"Between he's been quiet for days since AJ called his bluff, surely he's not going to bottle it, is he?"
A second said: "Tyson Fury got a little quiet. It's almost like he thought Joshua wouldn't take 40% and then he thought Joshua wouldn't be ready for the Dec. 3. His scheduled fight against Charr has hit the sh**ter now.Absolute fraud.
A third posted: "That motor mouth Tyson Fury went quiet didn't it! I didn't expect it to be him - had a trash man lined up for December and would blame AJ for not stepping in. His pants were down here!
While another added: "Non-stop videos of Fury and now reporting that Joshua has accepted he's shut up."
More fans were worried about the potential fight while a few think an announcement may be imminent, hence the silence.
One of them said, "Is it yours, Tyson Fury?! Don't shut up, he took everything we asked of him? Or is there there another stipulation?!
Another said: "By no means an AJ fan, but Fury is awfully quiet today given the news.
A third added: "Fury v AJ on Dec 3, still thinks Team Fury didn't expect AJ to agree to these terms, and he's now very quiet on social media .
While one of them argued Fury's case, saying, "I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, but the fact that it all went quiet on the AJ front against Fury means to me that an announcement is imminent and no one wants to let slip until there is a joint announcement."
