Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has warned Anthony Joshua that if he doesn’t sign the contract by Monday, their matchup won’t take place.
As Fury waits for a response from Joshua’s solicitors, his patience is wearing thin.
“We’ll know by Monday anyway [if the super-fight is on] because if it’s not done by Monday I’m moving on,” Fury told Queensberry.
Joshua’s camp has been given a contract, and it is thought that thus far, negotiations between the competing promoters have gone well.
But if a significant conflict is to occur by early December, time is of the essence.
“I was optimistic about three weeks ago but it shouldn’t be taking this long to sign a contract.
“I’m not waiting around for some guy who’s lost three of his last five fights. He’s lucky that I’m giving him a world title shot. If not he’ll have to wait a long time to get another one,” Fury added.
