Tyson Fury claims Anthony Joshua is walking away from their long-awaited all-British heavyweight clash, and says he now wants a trilogy bout with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury and Joshua have been in discussions for the fight for months, but the 'Gypsy King' is losing patience with no deal signed. He branded his fellow Brit a “coward” last week.

The two ex-heavyweight world champions are still targeting a November date, though a venue hasn’t been locked in yet.

In a profanity-filled Instagram video, 38-year-old Fury claimed Joshua was walking away from the fight.

“This will only lead me to a fight with Oleksandr Usyk,” he said. “Oleksandr, you're his (Joshua's) trainer and his sensei, and you know he is... weak-minded... and that he would never fight the Gypsy King, which you have had the guts to do twice.

“You got the decisions last time; fair play to you. Good luck to you; let's do it again. Let's run it back in November.

“The ball is now in your court... do you want to fight me this year, 2026, or are you calling it quits? Let me know because I am now looking for a new opponent.”

  

Fury has been beaten twice by Usyk, who is a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.  

Joshua has reportedly been training with members of the Ukrainian’s team.

Madison Square Garden in New York was tipped to be announced as the venue for Fury vs Joshua, even though Joshua’s side favours Wembley Stadium.
