Eddie Hearn claims Tyson Fury has sent Derek Chisora a fight contract despite agreeing to extend negotiations with Anthony Joshua.
Fury stated he would come out of retirement by offering Joshua the chance to settle their domestic rivalry and become a three-time heavyweight champion despite losing his past two fights to Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua accepted terms offered by Fury but missed his proposed deadline of Monday to sign a contract and the fight was seemingly off.
Manuel Charr was expected to serve as Fury's next opponent after 'The Gypsy King' promised he would fight him if talks with Joshua broke down. In a sudden turn of events, Fury said his Queensbury Promotions boss Frank Warren had convinced him to go back into negotiations with Joshua, leaving Charr frustrated as he accused Fury of avoiding a fight against him.
