Tyson Fury warns Anthony Joshua to sign the contract by Monday or the fight would be cancelled

Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has warned Anthony Joshua that if he doesn’t sign the contract by Monday, their matchup won’t take place.

As Fury waits for a response from Joshua’s solicitors, his patience is wearing thin.

Fury informed Queensberry, “We’ll know by Monday regardless [whether the super-fight is on] because if it’s not finished by Monday I’m going on.

Joshua’s camp has been given a contract, and it is thought that thus far, negotiations between the competing promoters have gone well.

But if a significant conflict is to occur by early December, time is of the essence.

“About three weeks ago, I was enthusiastic, but it shouldn’t take this long to sign a deal.

“I’m not hanging around for a fighter who has dropped three of his previous five matches. He’s fortunate because I’m giving him a shot at the world crown. If not, he’ll have a protracted wait before receiving another one,” Fury continued.
