Frank Warren makes 'desperate' claim in Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight update

Frank Warren has claimed that Anthony Joshua’s team are preventing a fight with Tyson Fury going ahead.

WBC heavyweight champion Fury recently shared on social media that a “draft contract” had been sent to AJ’s team. Conversations between Queensbury’s George Warren and Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn took place, with Fury’s camp proposing the same terms as previously discussed before contract negotiations fell through last year.

Hearn admitted that his confidence in reaching an agreement with Fury was “very thin”, while the ‘Gypsy King’ is looking for an opponent after failing to agree to a unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Asked about the negotiations on talkSPORT, Queensbury promoter Frank Warren stated that AJ’s team are against making the fight.
