TYSON FURY and promoter Frank Warren are refusing to ever entertain a showdown with Anthony Joshua again.
The rivals were on course to throw down in 2021 before Deontay Wilder threw a spanner into the works by winning his arbitration for a trilogy fight with Fury.

But negotiations failed to bear fruit, much to the frustration of Warren, who told SecondsOut: “I wouldn’t even want to go down that road again.
“We wasted a lot of time.
“I know you’ve got the people who wonder who was telling the truth, we were telling the truth.

“I don’t even want to bring up Anthony Joshua’s name to him.”

Fury is currently in negotiations over a blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
