    The WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has explained in detail why he thinks his fight with Anthony Joshua will never take place.

    Fury believes Anthony’s management is “extremely hard to deal with” and that his proposed fight with Joshua will never happen.

    A fight between Fury and Joshua was scheduled to take place on December 3, but discussions collapsed last month after Fury openly claimed that Joshua had missed his deadline.

    Fury will now take on Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and if he manages to stay perfect, the Gypsy King hopes to face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification match early in 2023.

    Boxing fans were dissatisfied when Britain’s two top heavyweights were unable to agree on a fight in December, and Fury now believes that a rematch with Joshua is unlikely.

    Asked if he will ever face Joshua, Fury told talkSPORT: ‘I don’t think so.

    ‘They are too hard to work with, too difficult and you can’t make someone do something they don’t want to do. You can’t make a fight that somebody else doesn’t want.

    ‘No matter how much willing I am to make a fight, if the other participant doesn’t want to do it for whatever reason, they are not going to do it. I don’t believe you could have dragged him there with a JCB.

    ‘It’s a lack of balls. If you are in charge and you’re assertive and you’re the man of your team, you tell the team to make the fight happen if you really want it. If you don’t want it, you find a million excuses why.’
