The Aporia · Fury claims Joshua fight is off, calls for another Usyk rematch

Fury, 38, made this announcement in an expletive-laden video posted on Instagram, citing Joshua's lack of response and indecision on the venue as reasons for his decision. The two former heavyweight world champions were expected to meet in November at Madison Square Garden in New York, but the choice of venue was met with backlash from British boxing fans.

Story summary

Tyson Fury claims that his highly anticipated boxing match with Anthony Joshua is off, citing Joshua's lack of response and indecision over the venue as reasons for the cancellation. The two British heavyweights had been set to face each other later this year, but Fury has become increasingly frustrated with the negotiations, calling Joshua a "coward" last week. Fury even went so far as to accuse Joshua of "s*ing his pants" in talks over the deal, suggesting that he is backing out of the fight. The location of the match was also a point of contention, with Fury and Joshua's teams disagreeing on whether it should be held at London's Wembley Stadium or Madison Square Garden in New York City**. Meanwhile, Fury has expressed his desire to face Oleksandr Usyk again in the ring, calling him out for a trilogy fight.
