TYSON FURY has claimed that there is still much to be decided before his two-fight deal with Anthony Joshua is rubber stamped.
Likening the agreement to a Caribbean holiday, the Gypsy King insisted that the “dates, plane tickets and hotels” are still not booked.

However he insisted there is a strong desire in both camps to hold the fight as soon as possible.
Fury told Behind the Gloves: “All I know is that we’ve both agreed. He said he wants to fight, I’ve said I want to fight, so whatever that means.
“I think that means me and you said let’s go on holiday to Barbados next year, we’re both agree to do it but no dates have been set, no tickets or plane journeys been booked, no hotels been booked, nothing.
“It’s all principle like, just an agreement, the nitty gritty hasn’t been done with the contracts and all that sort of stuff.
“It’s just the base deal of the split and the two-fight deal.”
Before Fury and Joshua can face off, they both have difficult title fights to contend with.
Deontay Wilder will have his third crack at the Gypsy King while AJ is due to fight Kubrat Pulev.
And Fury is intent on putting the potential Battle of Britain clash – which could cost fans £50 to watch on TV – out of his mind in order to focus on his next contest.
He noted: “[It’s] a principle deal, we’ve agreed that we’re going to fight each other, whenever that happens.
“I have fights to contend with, so does he. He has two mandatories, the WBO mandatory and the IBF mandatory, Pulev and [Oleksandr] Usyk, so I’m not sure what’s going on with that.
“I’ve got to do Wilder for the third time, so anything can happen in heavyweight boxing.
“Nothing is a foregone conclusion.
“It doesn’t matter to me, the news of other fights and stuff, it’s not important because the only thing that’s important to me is the fight that I’ve got coming, which is Wilder.
“And you’d have to be quite stupid to overlook the heaviest puncher in the history of boxing.”
