Former IBA , IBO and WBF champion, Anthony Joshua seems to have missed another opportunity of a top shot in boxer by facing his fellow British boxer, Tyson Fury.
The Gypsy King had finally set a deadline for signing of an agreement to the fight but it didn’t happen on Monday.
This could mean Joshua might be unable to have an all British clash against Fury as the deal is off according to the Gypsy King.
Joshua after failing to regain his belts from Oleksandr Usyk had said he is not retiring as he still possesses what it takes to reclaim belts.
“If it’s not done by Monday, I’m moving on!”

This means he would have to start almost from ground zero as the challengers for those belts will have to fight.
But having a date with Fury is what many have been looking forward and would have bring in the thrills and money for the game.
This is the fight Britain is waiting for
Since Joshua noted that the delay in signing are paperwork, the fight could possibly still take place. At least Fury should also be aware of this. It couldn’t be said that this is just a show off for Fury that had canceled fight with Joshua twice.
However, if this comes up, it will be a huge opportunity for the Nigerian-born boxer to re-announce himself on the big state and get his career back on track.
A talented and good puncher no doubt, the fight between the Britons is what people want to see despite with no belt at stake.
What is yet to be known is if Fury will not go going back to retirement , having announced that earlier before this development.
