Tyson Fury has branded Anthony Joshua a “coward” and accused his fellow British heavyweight of “conning everybody” as negotiations for their long-awaited all-British showdown continue.
Fury made the fresh attack on Joshua on Wednesday, amid a dispute over where the proposed heavyweight blockbuster should be staged.
According to Sky Sports, the fight appeared closer than ever to being agreed before Saudi organisers Sela’s preference for the event to be held in the United States emerged as a major stumbling block.
Joshua’s camp has maintained its preference for the fight to take place in the United Kingdom.
