Tyson Fury declares 'D-Day' as deadline approaches for Anthony Joshua fight

Tyson Fury has issued a 'D-Day' message to Anthony Joshua as it remains unclear if the Brit will sign his contract for their heavyweight title clash.

It seemed Joshua would be out of the heavyweight title picture after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time last month, but he was offered a shot by domestic rival Fury at the WBC title. 'AJ' accepted the offer and the pair entered talks over finally settling their feud in the ring after their scheduled fight last August fell through, with December 3 being the proposed date.

Fury has insisted he will move on from the fight if Joshua doesn't sign his contract by 5pm today. "Today is D-Day people, f****ng D-Day," he said on his Instagram story. "Are you [Joshua] going to sign the contract you big p***y or are you not going to sign it? When [Deontay] Wilder sent me the contract for the first fight I signed it within 24 hours because I wanted to smash his face in.
