WBC champion, Tyson Fury, has called off the anticipated ‘Battle of Britain’ with a former unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua.
This development is coming after AJ failed to meet today’s 5pm deadline to sign the contract.
Despite expressing his readiness for the fight, Joshua failed to sign the paperwork, forcing Fury to announce on Monday evening that the purported fight has been called off.
In an Instagram post on Monday, he wrote, “Well guys it’s official, D-Day has come and gone
“It’s gone past five o’clock Monday, no contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua. He is now out in the cold with the wolfpack.
“Forget about it. Idiot. Coward. S***house. Bodybuilder. Always knew it. Always knew you didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King.
“Regardless of what the f*** you’re saying now, I don’t really care. Good luck with your career and your life. End of. Peace out.”
Joshua had revealed he planned to sign the contract in a freestyle rap he uploaded to social media on Sunday.
In the short clip, he rapped: “I’m doing what I’m doing. Who the f**k are they fooling?”
