Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury says a planned fight with Anthony Joshua is off, as talks between the two remain unresolved. Fury also publicly calls for a bout against Oleksandr Usyk, positioning it as an alternative mega-fight.
Both outlets report that Fury and Joshua have been in negotiations for a high-profile rematch and that the deal has not progressed to a conclusion. The Independent frames the situation primarily around the ongoing negotiation process, while the Belfast Telegraph emphasizes Fury’s claim that the fight is no longer going ahead and his subsequent challenge to Usyk. The accounts share the same core point: Fury is indicating a change in direction regarding his next opponent, with Usyk named as the target.
