Tyson Fury has indicated that the highly anticipated fight with Anthony Joshua is off and has turned his focus to Oleksandr Usyk, challenging him to a third bout.

Negotiations for the all-British showdown have stalled, leading Fury to express his frustration. He labeled Joshua a “coward” earlier this week, stating that the lack of confirmation from Joshua has made him impatient.

In a social media post, Fury stated:

“AJ has st his pants again, yet again. After 11 years he has finally st his pants yet again.”

Fury then directed his attention towards Usyk, whom he faced and lost to twice on points in 2024. He remarked:

“Oleksandr you’re his (Joshua’s) trainer and his sensei and you know he is a weak minded piece of s**t and that he would never fight the Gypsy King, which you have had the guts to do twice.”

Fury acknowledged Usyk's previous victories but expressed his desire to fight him again:

“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.”

He concluded by putting the ball in Usyk's court, asking:

“Do you want to fight me this year, 2026, or are you calling quits?”

The uncertainty surrounding Joshua's participation continues, with his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, previously stating that an agreement depends on Joshua’s net purse.
