WBC champion Tyson Luke Fury has seemingly backed out from his long awaited duel with British-Nigerian Boxer Anthony Joshua.
This was revealed in a recent tweet by Anthony Joshua. The WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champion blasted his rival, Tyson for pulling wool over people’s eyes and keeping them in anticipation of nothing.
Joshua also accused Tyson of lying to the fans and using his name to chase clout instead of honouring their fight deal.

He wrote on Twitter:
“@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are. You’ve let boxing down!
You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.”

An announcement of Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury bout was expected this week, with 14 August as the date proposed. But those plans could not work out after an arbitration judge ruled on Monday that Fury must take on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy clash before September 15.
This simply implies that his fight against Anthony Joshua looks set to be put back or potentially cancelled.
