Tyson Fury has given Anthony Joshua an ultimatum, saying that the contract which has been sent to his representatives must be signed by Monday, September 27 or the fight will be off.
Fury was in attendance for Joseph Parker vs Joe Joyce at the AO Arena on Saturday night, sitting ringside alongside Frank Warren, who is promoting the event. It had appeared that negotiations had been progressing well for the fight which is proposed for December 3 in Cardiff, but comments from the WBC champion cast doubt over the progress.
It had appeared that Joshua was willing to accept the 60:40 split proposed by Fury, but now negotiations are seemingly on thin ice. This comes after Eddie Hearn admitted that the contract which had been sent over by Fury's representatives 'wasn't as expected' and that much more needed to be done to secure the fight.
