Is the biggest fight in British boxing off before it even started? Tyson Fury certainly thinks so...

So, here we go again.

The Gypsy King has jumped on Instagram with an expletive-laden rant claiming Anthony Joshua is backing out of their long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown.

Fury and AJ have been locked in talks for months, with November pencilled in for the clash, but with no venue officially confirmed, Fury's patience has clearly snapped. Just last week he branded Joshua a "coward" – and now he's saying AJ is pulling out altogether.

In the video posted on Sunday, the 38-year-old didn't hold back and even dragged Oleksandr Usyk into it.

"This will only lead me to a fight with Oleksandr Usyk," Fury fumed. "Oleksandr you’re his trainer and his sensei and you know he is… weak-minded… and that he would never fight the Gypsy King, which you have had the guts to do twice.

"You got the decisions last time, fair play to you. Good luck to you, let’s do it again. Let’s run it back in November.

"The ball is now in your court… do you want to fight me this year, 2026, or are you calling quits? Let me know because I am now looking for a new opponent."

It's a bold call-out, considering Usyk – who is now working with Joshua's training team – has already beaten Fury twice and stands as a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion.

The venue row isn't helping either. Madison Square Garden in New York was widely expected to be announced, with Saudi promoters Sela and broadcaster Netflix reportedly keen on the US. Joshua's camp, however, would much prefer a proper homecoming at Wembley Stadium.

Will we get Fury vs Joshua in November? Or Fury vs Usyk 3? Watch this space.
