Jake Paul accuses Tyson Fury of being "afraid" to fight rival Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul has accused Tyson Fury of being scared to fight Anthony Joshua in a massive heavyweight showdown.

As recently as last summer, a deal was all but inked between the duo to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title in Saudi Arabia. But it fell through due to a legal issue on Fury's end that required him to face Deontay Wilder for a third time despite brutally knocking him out a year prior.

Joshua would ultimately lose his WBA, WBO and IBF titles to Oleksandr Usyk, pouring the years of negotiations between the pair down the drain. Since then, Fury has retired after two WBC defences against Wilder and Dillian Whyte, meaning the likelihood of fans ever being given a Joshua vs Fury bout is dwindling.
