John Fury has revealed that his son Tyson's planned bout with Anthony Joshua is "doubtful" after the expiration of the latest deadline.
The 'Gypsy King' confirmed he would make a return to the ring and shelve his retirement plans by offering long-term rival Joshua the chance to fight for his WBC heavyweight crown. Joshua accepted the offer and the pair entered successful negotiations, with the champion's team sending over the contract for a clash to be finalised.
Fury gave Joshua a 10-day deadline to conclude the deal and sign the paperwork which was missed, so it looked as if Fury would move on and face Manuel Charr. However, he made a surprise U-turn by giving 'AJ' another day to sign on the dotted line - but once again the fight now seems dead in the water.
