Fury had earlier called into talkSPORT to discuss his offer to Joshua, and said: “I think it’s more than generous. I didn’t want to go in at 80/20 like they would do to me. I really want this fight to happen because [Oleksandr] Usyk the middleweight doesn’t want no smoke like I thought he didn’t and now I’m going after AJ. I’ve already beaten Wilder and there’s only one other person and that’s AJ the bodybuilder.
“Why not give him 40 per cent, no excuses, let’s get the fight made for the British public. The Battle of Britain, who’s going to win it, me or him? He only had a sparring contest [against Usyk] didn’t he? He’s match fit, coming off a training camp. I’ve seen they’re trying to wriggle a bit with the dates.
Fury initially wanted to face Joshua on November 12 and claimed Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground has been booked. He then said he would be willing to fight Joshua on November 26 at Wembley or on December 3 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Joshua, who lost to Oleksandr Usyk less than three weeks, has asked, via promoter Eddie Hearn, to shift the fight to the week before Christmas. But Fury has put his foot down, saying in a comment on Instagram: “Nov 26 at Wembley or Dec 3 in Cardiff. That’s the dates, take or leave.”
