Fury puts Joshua clash in doubt again

File: Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Tyson Fury has suggested that his fight with Anthony Joshua is in jeopardy again.
Fury and Joshua finally looked to have squashed their differences in negotiations, with all parties announcing their bout for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
However, all hell has broken loose once again, with Zuffa Boxing chief Dana White listed by Netflix as being the promoter of the event with Saudi kingpin Turki Alalshikh.
Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has taken issue with the ruling, and plunged into doubt a Wednesday launch press conference.
Fury suggested he deliberately had the clause to keep White away from the bout removed from his contract.
And now after initial reports from The Ring’s Mike Coppinger, the ‘Gypsy King’ released a statement on his social media, claiming the bout is at risk of not happening again.
He shouted on Instagram: “Breaking news. Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn are trying to pull out of this fight they are saying he is not going to fight now.
“They’re little s*** house cowards, mainly to do with Eddie Hearn’s ego, he’s making up a million different things and threatening that ‘we’re not going to fight’, you little coward.
“AJ pull your finger out you white flag, yellow-bellied coward. You know now we’re coming home, now I’m coming home the Gypsy King is coming back to the United Kingdom to thrash you in front of all my fans in Wales.”
Then, later on in his statement, Fury suggested Alalshikh is exploring a replacement.
He continued: “Now you’ve got Turki Alalshikh finding alternative real men who will fight at the drop of a hat.
“So I hope you are happy, you little cowardly b******s. I’ve never seen anything like you. You’re pure s***houses, and this is mainly to do with Eddie Hearn’s ego.
“What a little p**k. He’s cost us the biggest fight in boxing history. Clown.”
