\u201cWe may still say no because we haven\u2019t made a decision yet,\u201d Hearn said.<\/p>\n
It comes amid an increasingly bitter dispute over the location and terms of the fight, with Hearn accusing Fury\u2019s camp of \u201cmoving the goalposts\u201d and describing negotiations with the former heavyweight champion as a \u201ctotal f***ing nightmare\u201d.<\/p>\n
Fury, meanwhile, has launched a blistering attack on both Joshua and Hearn, rejecting suggestions he doesn\u2019t want to fight in England and declaring he will \u201cbatter\u201d his British rival when they finally meet.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy the f*** wouldn\u2019t I want to fight in England, you sausage?\u201d Fury said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyson is not in charge of this fight. Tyson didn\u2019t put the money up for this fight. Tyson is not the paymaster.<\/p>\n
\u201cLovely, it\u2019s in England, even better. I\u2019m knocking him out even quicker.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrimetime England, 10 o\u2019clock, Wembley Stadium, 100,000 people. Why the f*** wouldn\u2019t I want it in England?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fury and Joshua have repeatedly been linked with fighting throughout their careers without ever sharing the ring, and despite the latest negotiations appearing to finally bring the heavyweight giants together, fresh uncertainty has emerged.<\/p>\n
Fury insists the location won\u2019t stop him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis fight\u2019s been moved up about four or five times to a very different location, Ireland, England, Las Vegas, New York. I\u2019ve said yes to all of them,\u201d Fury said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019ll fight, no problem. Let\u2019s get it on. Let\u2019s get it on like Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll fight in Brazil. I\u2019ll fight in Morecambe. I\u2019ll fight in Derby. I\u2019ll fight in f***ing Costa Del Sol. I\u2019ll fight on Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Hearn has painted a very different picture of the negotiations, claiming an agreement has already been signed and suggesting Joshua\u2019s camp is growing increasingly<\/p>\n

frustrated by attempts to alter it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been unbelievably fair because really we should just be saying no and we may still say no because we haven\u2019t made a decision yet,\u201d Hearn said.<\/p>\n
Asked whether they would really walk away, Hearn replied: \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
And when it was put to him that Joshua\u2019s camp would be blamed if the blockbuster collapsed, Hearn remained defiant.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care. Listen, you can\u2019t win every way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearn then revealed how strongly his father, Matchroom founder Barry Hearn, feels about honouring signed agreements.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad lives and breathes and dies on contracts. My dad lives and dies on his word.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would never ever look to change a contract. Once you sign a contract, that is done and there are no changes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad will be saying, tell Tyson Fury to go f*** himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearn accused Fury of constantly searching for an advantage and suggested Joshua\u2019s team had grown tired of the games surrounding negotiations.<\/p>\n
