Sky Sports expert Johnny Nelson says a fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is becoming “less and less likely.” He argues that Joshua has strong reasons to maintain his position during negotiations, implying that the talks have not progressed in a way that would make a deal straightforward.

Both sources attribute the assessment to Nelson and present it as a view on the current state of negotiations rather than a confirmed change to the fight’s schedule. In this framing, the uncertainty around whether the bout will happen is the main development, with Nelson emphasizing Joshua’s negotiating stance and the decreasing likelihood of the matchup occurring as expected.

While neither outlet reports a specific new offer, formal breakdown, or official statement from the camps in the provided text, the shared angle is that the prospects for the Fury–Joshua fight are worsening. The focus remains on negotiation dynamics and the expert’s judgment of how likely the fight is to proceed.
