Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has raised doubts over his proposed bout with Anthony Joshua, accusing Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, of demanding more money to finalise the fight.

Fury made the claim in a social media post on Saturday, saying the long-awaited contest now “doesn’t look like it’s going to happen” because of the ongoing dispute over the terms of the deal.

Joshua and Fury are understood to have signed contracts for a November 20 heavyweight clash in New York City.

However, Hearn has maintained that some aspects of the agreement still need to be resolved before the fight can be confirmed.

Fury accused Hearn and Joshua of seeking additional financial terms from Saudi boxing financier Turki Alalshikh despite the deals they had previously secured through Saudi-linked boxing and other sporting ventures.

The 38-year-old Briton also criticised Hearn over the negotiations, suggesting that the promoter’s financial demands could derail the bout.

The proposed fight has been one of the most anticipated heavyweight contests in recent years, with both former world champions having repeatedly been linked with a meeting.

Fury’s latest comments have therefore cast fresh uncertainty over whether the November 20 date will go ahead as planned.
