The unified world heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua is clearly not pleased with the events of the past several days regarding his undisputed fight with Tyson Fury.
The two were on a road to face each other in August, but a few days ago it became clear that Deontay Wilder has won his civil case and a US arbitration court has ordered a third fight between Fury and Wilder to take place before September 15.
Even though that wasn’t the first time we heard about Widler going to court, Fury’s team and managers were pretty sure that this thing won’t derail the most anticipated fight in the last 20 years.
.@Tyson_Fury the world now sees you for the fraud you are.
You’ve let boxing down!
You lied to the fans and led them on. Used my name for clout not a fight.
Bring me any championship fighter who can handle their business correctly.

Fury responded by saying Joshua’s team knew arbitration was going on and the matter was “out of my hands”. He also challenged Joshua to a bare-knuckle fight.
If there was an arbitration going on, why announce to the world we are fighting! The fight was signed! UNDISPUTED 💥
Bare knuckle? You’re a good kid, don’t play with me Luke!
I’ll slap your bald head & you’ll do nothing! Waste man. https://t.co/d9PLjAesj6

British media reported that Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn is considering alternative plans for the fighter, including a bout with Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk — the mandatory challenger for the WBO strap.
