TYSON FURY has given Anthony Joshua a deadline of TODAY to agree to a Battle of Britain showdown.
The Gypsy King took to social media vowing to post a video every hour “for the whole f****** day” until AJ gives his response.
Fury said in his message: “This is it now, AJ, Eddie [Hearn]. Don’t get scared now. Agree to the fight and let’s give the fans what they want.
“I’ve given you an unbelievable deal, and unbelievable opportunity, so let’s go.”
He added: “And AJ, if you really wanted this fight you’d say you wanted it and you’d just do it.
“November 26th [or] December 3rd. Let’s give the fans what they want. [There’s] no way out. Take the fight.”

True to his word, Fury came back an hour later with another message.
He said: “AJ, where are you mush? Time is ticking.”
The Gypsy King added: “AJ I’ll make it nice and quick for you! I’ll do it inside six rounds so you can get out of there in one piece and go home and have a nice little night out on Sunday.
“Nice and quick, in and out, get paid and out you go.”

His team have sent an offer for a 60/40 purse split for the fight, with a rematch clause at 50/50.
Fury’s promoter Frank Warren told iFL TV that Joshua and Eddie Hearn have until the end of TODAY to give their response.
Warren also revealed that they have offered Joshua either November 26 or December 3 as the date for the fight.
Warren said: “The offer’s there and we need an answer quickly because Tyson has told me this morning again that if they do not come back with the thumbs up then we move on.”
Then when asked if there was a deadline, Warren replied: “Yeah, today.”
Warren insisted that Fury will be fighting in the UK this year – whether it’s against AJ or not.
And after that a mouthwatering unification bout against Oleksandr Usyk is in the pipeline for early next year.
Joshua’s promoter Hearn confirmed yesterday that they are willing to accept the deal on offer.

He told iFL TV: “We just went back this morning and said, I spoke to AJ about that offer, we think, I think particularly he deserves more than 40 per cent.
“But, he’s happy. And I don’t make the decisions, he does. So I went back this morning and said, ‘We accept 60/40’.
