Tyson Fury Refuses To Wait For Anthony Joshua Negotiations

The former heavyweight champion says he will keep staging fights on the Isle of Man until a Joshua deal is finalized.

Tyson Fury says he will not wait indefinitely for Anthony Joshua. The former heavyweight champion plans to keep fighting and staging his own events if negotiations for the long-discussed heavyweight clash take longer than expected.

“If my fight with Joshua doesn’t happen in the next few months, guess what I’m going to do again? I’m going to put a show on in the Isle of Man myself. I put these shows on every two minutes,” said Fury to The Stomping Ground. “When you’re not trying to make a profit, you can do anything you want, can’t you? When you got tons of money to spend and blow, you can do what you want. I could put 10 of these shows on and fight 10 times, no problem.”

Fury believes frequent activity is making him a better fighter after years of lengthy layoffs. He said this training camp followed directly after the previous one, allowing him to continue progressing instead of spending months rebuilding his conditioning.

“I want to stay match fit. I could do 12 fights. When you’re fit, and you’re ready to go, and you’re active, fighting, you become better every time you do it,” said Fury.

Fury returns Friday in Thailand against Mariusz Wach. He described the bout as another step toward sharpening his form before any future meeting with Joshua.

If Joshua defeats Kristian Prenga on Saturday, attention will quickly shift back to their proposed heavyweight fight. Fury says he will put on his own shows until the Joshua bout is ready if the process takes longer than expected.
