Boxing fans pick sides as Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua talks collapse

Boxing fans are continuing to debate who is to blame for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua 's fight collapsing.

Heavyweight champion Fury announced plans to end his retirement by offering Joshua a fight on December 3 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. 'AJ' accepted the terms but missed Fury's proposed deadline to sign a contract and the fight was seemingly off. Fury was convinced by his promoters to give Joshua more time, but has since offered fights to Derek Chisora and Manuel Charr after being frustrated with negotiations taking too long.

George Warren, who is Fury's chief negotiator for the fight, and Matchroom Boxing boss Hearn have both since expressed their doubts about the fight taking place. Boxing fans have since weighed in on the fight seemingly being cancelled, with some fans blaming Joshua's team and others accusing Fury of never being serious about the fight.
