Tyson Fury says a proposed bout with Anthony Joshua was called off three days before a scheduled press conference, despite being publicly discussed and promoted as a major upcoming fight. The statement comes as doubts briefly resurfaced less than 48 hours after the matchup was announced, according to the reports.
Both outlets describe the same sequence: the fight is publicly positioned as a long-awaited “super-fight,” then uncertainty emerges almost immediately. The focus of the accounts is Fury’s claim about the timing of the cancellation, rather than detailed reasons for why the bout was off the table at that stage. The reporting also frames the development as a reminder that negotiations and planning for high-profile boxing matchups can change rapidly, even after an announcement.
Across the two sources, the core agreed point is Fury’s assertion that the fight was off days before the press conference, alongside the broader idea that the matchup’s status becomes unclear very soon after being announced publicly.
