Tyson Fury performs Anthony Joshua U-Turn as he tells rival to sign fight today

Tyson Fury has pulled a major U-turn regarding a fight with Anthony Joshua and has confirmed that fight talks are back on after his Monday deadline was missed.

The world heavyweight champion has laid out his terms once again and declared that all issues around purses, who is promoting and, crucially, the broadcasters in the UK and America, have been sorted. He has declared that Joshua must have the contract signed today, but has returned to the table thanks to being talked down by promoter Frank Warren.

Fury has been flirting with a bout against former WBA 'regular' champion Mahmoud Charr for his December 3 date in Cardiff, but fans are much more keen on him finally facing Joshua instead. There was uproar after the Brit began claiming he would face his German rival, with fans branding him a "clown" and theorising that he was never serious about fighting Joshua.
