UNIFICATION BOUT WITH JOSHUA NOT CLOSE – FURY

WBC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TYSON FURY SAYS HIS HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED FIGHT WITH BRITISH RIVAL ANTHONY JOSHUA IS NO CLOSER TO BEING FINALISED.

FURY AND JOSHUA ARE EAGER TO FACE EACH OTHER BUT THE ADDED COMPLICATION OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS MADE NEGOTIATIONS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT.

EVEN IF THE FIGHT DOES GET ARRANGED FOR 2021 FURY ADMITS HIS LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY – HIS LAST FIGHT AGAINST DEONTAY WILDER WAS A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK AS A SECOND REMATCH FOR DECEMBER DID NOT HAPPEN – WHICH HE SEES AS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN.
