Frank Warren believes that the tortuous negotiations surrounding the proposed fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury<\/a> are subject to a time limit which will run out by the end of next week. Conceding that he is unsure if the much-delayed bout will happen, Warren also said the decision now depends solely on Joshua and that Fury, whom he promotes, is already in training in the US and ready to fight an alternative opponent in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing\u2019s been signed off as yet,\u201d Warren said in regard to a revised contract for Fury and Joshua to fight in New York. \u201cEverybody\u2019s talking and talking rather than getting on with the business and getting it done. I think it will happen and if it doesn\u2019t, and I think there\u2019s a time limit on it, by the way, it will be one of those fights that slipped by.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it happens, I think it will be in November and, in all probability, in the States. Tyson went over the weekend to Miami, which is where he\u2019s training. So one way or another, he\u2019s going to fight in November. Hopefully, it\u2019s against AJ.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about the time limit, with Joshua and his promoter Eddie Hearn wanting more money from the US promoters Zuffa Boxing<\/a> now that the bout is being moved to the US, Warren said: \u201cI should think they won\u2019t let it go past the end of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warren was then asked if he believed Joshua actually wanted the fight. \u201cThere\u2019re a lot of things I can\u2019t say at the moment. Do I think so? I don\u2019t know. He had a hard fight last time, didn\u2019t he? [Joshua was knocked down twice in the first round against the obscure Albanian Kristian Prenga last month<\/a>] Came through at the end. But he did have a hard fight. Does he want it? He\u2019s the only one who knows that. He says he does.\u201d<\/p>\n

The promoter added: \u201cThey\u2019re quite right. They signed for a contract for the fight to take place in the UK. Tyson also didn\u2019t sign up for America, but he\u2019s willing to fight there. In his words: \u2018Get the politics and all this crap out of the way. Let\u2019s get the fight on.\u2019 He signed for that fight last January, and unfortunately, AJ\u2019s tragic [car] accident<\/a> [in Nigeria] put it back. So whether AJ fights Tyson is down to AJ. No one else has any say over that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m confident that Tyson will fight [in November]. He\u2019s in training. Eddie has come out and said what they want. I don\u2019t know what the monetary situation is but, whatever it is, everyone\u2019s got to make their mind up \u2013 otherwise move on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frank Warren believes that the tortuous negotiations surrounding the proposed fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872650,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-872649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
