Tyson Fury uses Mike Tyson to send message to Anthony Joshua as wait rumbles on

Tyson Fury has recorded a video message with Mike Tyson to put pressure on Anthony Joshua.

Fury and Joshua have signed on the dotted line for a heavyweight clash at the end of the year.

But a row has been ongoing for several weeks over the venue and date for the clash, with the bout likely to take place on US shores in Madison Square Garden.

Joshua has yet to sign the end of his deal, with his team and promoter Eddie Hearn requesting a new set of conditions to alter their contract, which had the venue to be the UK.

But it appears a breakthrough has been made although the confirmation is yet to be made official.

However, Fury has made multiple public outbursts slamming Joshua, accusing him of holding up the deal.

And his latest was no different, but this time with American icon Tyson.

Fury’s message to Joshua with Tyson

“AJ, sign the contract, big boy,” Fury shouted.

Tyson then joined in: “He says you are scared.

“He said you’re scared. Do you hear that? Do you hear that?”

Fury then chimed in again: “He’s scared alright, because I’m going to knock his a** spark out 100%.

“Sign the contract, big boy. You’re getting chinned!”

In a separate message, Fury had called Joshua a coward.

He also suggested he was open to the fight anywhere providing it takes place.

Hearn updates on Fury vs Joshua

However it appears the fight is edging ever closer to moving stateside, despite Hearn and Joshua’s initial reluctance.

After sending a list of terms to organisers including Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, it appears it may now be finally closing in.

Hearn explained: “We will need to make a decision this week. They’ve replied. They have our terms. It’s up to them.

“I mean, we don’t want to do the fight in the US, but if they really want it in the US, these are our terms.

“There’s nothing unreasonable in there, to be honest with you. 

“There’s not one of those terms that was mentioned in the leaked email that is in the addendum. 

“They’re all stuff related to the fight. If they want it there, they’ll sign it. If not, we’ll be very happy, and we’ll do it in the UK.”
