Fans fear Tyson Fury has gone far too quiet, leaving them doubtful whether the heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua will be confirmed.
Joshua has accepted Fury’s terms for a pre-Christmas showdown that the public has long wanted, but the danger never seemed to happen.
A purse split of 60-40 in favor of Fury as the WBC heavyweight world champion had already agreed and now Joshua has compromised on December 3 for one of the biggest battles in British boxing history.

The deadly duo will finally meet under the retractable roof of Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
Fury had suspended negotiations out of respect for the global mourning following the Queen’s death, but Joshua has stimulated further discussion by instructing his own management company, 258, to close the deal.
“258 and Matchroom Boxing can confirm on behalf of Anthony Joshua that we have accepted all terms and conditions submitted to us by Fury’s team for a fight on December 3 last Friday,” 258 tweeted Tuesday. Due to the death of the Queen it has been agreed to stop all communication. We are waiting for a response.’
Joshua’s team quickly received one on Twitter from Fury’s promoter Frank Warren on Twitter, when he replied: “The contract will be with you very shortly.”

However, since Joshua accepted the fight, it has been radio silence from The Gypsy King on social media, which is very different from him.
Fans are seemingly concerned about Fury being off since Joshua’s latest news.
One fan said: ‘Fury will fight its way out of the fray. Let’s not forget that he pretended to be on board at the AJ fight and lied about not knowing about the Wilder arbitration.
“By the way, he’s been quiet for days since AJ called his bluff, surely he’s not going to bottle?”
A second said: ‘Tyson Fury has gone a bit quiet. It’s almost like he thought Joshua wouldn’t take 40%. Then he thought Joshua wouldn’t be ready until December 3. His planned fight against Charr is now a bull’s eye. Absolute fraud.
A third posted: ‘That motorcycle mouth Tyson Fury has gone quiet, hasn’t it! I didn’t expect this to be him – he had a garbage man lined up for December and would blame AJ for not getting up. Had his pants pulled down here!
While another added: ‘Non-stop videos of Fury and now reporting that Joshua has accepted that he has gone quiet.’
More fans have been concerned about the potential fight, with a few believing an announcement may be imminent, hence the silence.
One said, ‘Over to you Tyson Fury?! Don’t shut up, he accepted everything asked of him? Or is there another stipulation?!
Another said: ‘Not an AJ fan by any means, but Fury is very quiet today given the news.
A third added: ‘Fury v AJ Dec 3, still think team fury didn’t expect AJ to accept these terms, and he is very quiet on social media now.
While one advocated Fury’s case, saying ‘I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but the fact that it’s all gone quiet on the AJ v Fury front means to me that an announcement is imminent and nobody wants to let it slip. until there is a joint announcement .
“Combined with this new rankings for AJ, IT HAPPENED.”
When Joshua was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk in their rematch last month, the Battle of Britain with Fury came into question.
But when Usyk begged for a time out with his family and front-line comrades in Ukraine’s war with Russia before his inevitable fight with Fury for the undisputed world heavyweight title, the door was ajar.
Usyk no longer fights in 2022 and opens the door for Fury and Joshua to face each other
Fury kicked it when he saw the chance to double his money – think a hundred million spondoolicks or more – by fitting into this fight against Joshua before it became virtually irrelevant.
So he threw down the gauntlet that AJ picked up by going straight back to training. The winner wins everything by fighting Usyk in the spring.
The scene takes place with Fury temporarily retiring and Joshua being spared the grind of smaller venue fighting to rebuild his career.
Usyk defeated Joshua via unanimous decision to capture the heavyweight crowns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September 2021.
Joshua has taken a leaf out of Usyk’s book by copying his brutal training regime.
Ahead of Joshua’s fight last month, Usyk’s manager, Egis Kilmas, claimed the Ukrainian, 35, swam six miles in a pool for five hours a day before one of his press conferences with Joshua – something he’s never seen before. seen ‘.
And now Joshua has decided to take the challenge of Egis Kilmas and jump into a pool. Joshua wrote: ‘You know I like a challenge.’
