Tyson Fury breaks silence as he waits for Anthony Joshua to sign fight contract

Tyson Fury has dropped his first update since Anthony Joshua was sent a contract for their world heavyweight title bout, telling fans he had no interest in anything other than mourning the Queen's passing.

A bank holiday has been declared today for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, with Fury one of the more high profile figures to pay his respects at Buckingham Palace last week. The Queen passed away at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle earlier this month, ending the longest reign of any monarch in British history.

She passed away in the midst of a concentrated effort from Fury to pressure Joshua into publicly agreeing to fight him on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. He had vowed to post a video every hour until Joshua made a social media post agreeing to the fight, but stopped suddenly upon learning of the Queen's death.
