Tyson Fury has disappointed fans by insisting they will never see a fight between himself and Anthony Joshua.
A meeting between the British duo would be one of the biggest fights in boxing, and has come close to happening on two separate occasions. First, in August of 2021, the duo were about to sign contracts for a bout in Saudi Arabia when they held all of the belts, but Fury was obligated to fight Deontay Wilder in a trilogy first, and in the meantime Joshua lost his belts.
Then over the past few months talks were underway for Joshua to challenge Fury for his WBC world heavyweight title, despite having lost his last two fights to Oleksandr Usyk. Both teams were close to a deal and contracts were exchanged, but sponsorship issues got in the way of the Londoner signing, which Fury believes has closed the door entirely.
