Fury-Joshua talks stalled due to Queen's death

Frank Warren, in an interview with talkSPORT, said that after the death of the British Queen Elizabeth II, negotiations on organizing a fight between Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 23 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) were temporarily suspended.

“Tyson and I believe that it would be inappropriate to negotiate now for the sake of respect for the royal family,” said the promoter of the WBC heavyweight champion.

This week, Tyson Fury made an offer to fight Joshua. AJ agreed to the proposed 60/40 split, but would not like to box before December 17th. Team King of the Gypsies prefers to fight on November 26th and December 3rd.
