Tyson Fury cancels Anthony Joshua fight over missed deadline
Tyson Fury has cancelled his proposed heavyweight fight with Anthony Joshua after his self-imposed deadline passed.

Fury issued an ultimatum to Joshua's camp on Friday night, stating that if a deal could not be reached in time, he would withdraw from the blockbuster all-British fight.

On Monday evening, the WBC champion posted on Instagram, "Well guys, it's official. The big day has come and gone. Monday has passed five o'clock. There is no contract in place.

“It’s officially over for Joshua. He is now out in the cold with the wolfpack.

“Forget about it. Idiot. Coward. S***house. Body builder. Always knew it. Always knew you didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy king.

“Regardless of what the f*** you say now, I don’t really care. Good luck with your career, and your life. End of. Peace out.”

Promoter Eddie Hearn had already said there was “no chance” of contracts for being signed by Monday, while Joshua insisted on Sunday that the negotiations were down to his lawyers.

Speaking on Instagram Live, Joshua said: “It ain’t in my hands – it’s with a legal team. That’s why you hire lawyers.

“You know the history of boxing – make sure you get your legal terms right. That’s why you get good management and good lawyers.

“So of course I’m going to sign the contract – it’s just with some lawyers at the minute.”
