Fury claims Joshua fight is off, calls for another Usyk rematch

Tyson Fury, 38, claimed on September 7, 2026, via an Instagram video that Anthony Joshua is backing out of their planned all-British heavyweight showdown, calling him 'weak-minded' and a 'coward' over indecision about the fight's date and venue. Fury has subsequently challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a trilogy bout, having lost to the two-time undisputed heavyweight champion twice previously. The developments have thrown the long-anticipated Fury-Joshua clash into serious doubt.
