Tyson Fury's statement in full as champion's U-turn revives Anthony Joshua fight

Tyson Fury has declared that a fight with Anthony Joshua could be back on providing his rival signs the contract by the end of today.

The 'Gypsy King' decided to offer a WBC title challenge to his long-term rival after his own planned outing against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed crown was delayed until next year. Joshua accepted the proposition and the champion's team sent over a contract, with Fury giving his British counterpart a ten-day deadline to seal the deal.

'AJ' signalled his intent to sign the paperwork but missed Fury's deadline, so the 34-year-old declared he would instead move on and face Manuel Charr in a voluntary defence on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. However, the undefeated star has now made an astonishing U-turn and declared that he will allow negotiations to continue.
