Tyson Fury Claims Planned Fight With Anthony Joshua Is Off
Anthony Joshua’s planned showdown with Tyson Fury in April seems to be no more, according to the British boxer himself.
It’s officially over, he wrote in a statement posted on Twitter, before adding that the fight will not happen because I’m now retired.
This news comes less than two months after promoter Eddie Hearn announced the bout, which was expected to take place at the Manchester Arena and would have been the biggest event in UK boxing history.
Fury (26-0-1) has not fought since November 2015 and lost his WBA, WBO and IBF titles shortly thereafter due to inactivity.
‘It’s Officially Over’
The planned fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is off, according to Fury.
In an interview on the BBC’s Sports week show, the heavyweight boxer said that it was all over but did not offer any details as to why the deal fell through.
Joshua is currently in America for a promotional tour, and offered no comment on the matter.
If a rematch with Klitschko does not materialize, then this will be another title opportunity that goes by the wayside for Joshua who has been chasing Klitschko since beating him in April of last year.
