Fury brands Joshua a 'coward' as fans wait on blockbuster fight announcement

Tyson Fury has called Anthony Joshua a "coward" as the pair face a tense wait to see whether their long-awaited all-British heavyweight blockbuster can be agreed. The accusation intensifies a heated build-up to the proposed clash and adds pressure while organisers and teams await an announcement. BBC Sport reported the development, noting the uncertain status of the fight despite ongoing interest in an all-British showdown. The comment from Fury fuels speculation and debate among supporters as timetable and terms remain unresolved. For now, the two fighters remain in the spotlight without a confirmed deal, prolonging anticipation over whether the matchup will go ahead.
