Fury Brands Joshua a 'Coward' Amid Fight Negotiations
By Editor • September 2, 2026 • 1 min read
Tyson Fury has escalated the tension in the ongoing negotiations for a highly anticipated heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua by labeling him a "coward." The two boxers, who have long been rivals, were expected to meet in November, but negotiations have stalled over venue disagreements.
Joshua and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, have secured a contract for the bout to take place in the UK. Meanwhile, event organizers are pushing for a location in the United States, complicating the process further.
Fury expressed frustration over the drawn-out negotiations, stating, "I’ve been down to fight at every location that’s been mentioned." He challenged Joshua, saying, "I feel like you don’t want the fight and you’re just conning everybody." As negotiations drag on, Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, confirmed that Fury is fully committed, stating, "Tyson is signed up for the fight and agreed for the fight."
