Tyson Fury criticises Anthony Joshua and calls him “a coward” as negotiations for a potential heavyweight fight continue. Fury’s comments come while the parties work through the remaining steps needed to finalise the matchup.

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, says Fury has already agreed to the fight. This point is presented as evidence that Fury is ready to proceed, while Joshua’s status in the negotiations remains a focus of the dispute. The Independent reports the exchange in the context of ongoing talks, while the Belfast Telegraph headline highlights the same attack on Joshua’s character, though no additional details are provided in the excerpt.

Across outlets, the shared theme is the ongoing negotiation process and Fury’s public stance toward Joshua. Differences are limited to how the stories frame the certainty of Fury’s commitment versus what is publicly known about Joshua’s position at this stage.
