      Joshua’s promoter Hearn claims there is concern after not hearing back from Fury’s team since the latest social media video in which he demanded they sign the contact last week.
      The 43-year-old insists the matter is “still open for discussions” but suggested the fight is “off” as it stands.
      Hearn told Matchroom Boxing: “They gave us terms ultimately in a date they thought we wouldn’t accept. We did accept that.
      “We were ready to go. If they would have signed the contract on Monday, they had a fight.

      “We were asked to agree the deal by Monday, then we were asked to agree it by Wednesday. We got their comments back on Wednesday.
      “We were never gonna sign the fight, and we were told the fight is off.
      “So, it’s still there. It’s still open for discussions. But we’re not gonna play a game with a bloke that’s just coming out telling AJ it’s off and then he’s a dosser and he’s gotta sign it etc.
      “Have your fight if you wanna fight someone else and we’ll do our thing, and we’ll see what happens.”

      But after the deadline passed, the Gypsy King branded AJ a “coward” and an “idiot” whose top-level career is over after calling off their world heavyweight title showdown.
      Fury is still preparing to fight next month and talks with Joshua were reportedly continuing.
      Hearn previously said the paperwork is not yet ready to be signed as they went through the finer terms and conditions. More

      Racist window cleaner who abused England team with sickening slurs moans HE is being attacked online

      A RACIST window cleaner who abused a young England team has moaned that HE’S being attacked online.Shameless Shaun Drewery, who lives in East Yorkshire, whinged “no one deserves this abuse” after making vile comments on Facebook.

      He posted twice under an image of the England Under 17s team alongside a photo of the 1966 World Cup squad.
      But social media users sickened by his posts have since shared them thousands of times – leading to a huge backlash.
      And now Drewery has admitted writing the young players are “c*****” – but told Hull Live it was just “banter”.
      It comes as:

      The moron, who lives in North Ferriby, has been bombarded with zero-rating reviews after one Facebook page encouraged its followers to post their views on him.
      And he claims to have installed CCTV and dashcams after receiving death threats.
      He told the paper: “I wrote one flippant word, on a post that wasn’t mine, which has been blown massively out of context.
      “It was stupid tongue-in-cheek banter – I’ve had so many death threats.”
      Drewery made his comments before Sunday’s heartbreaking Euro 2020 final.
      But there’s been a huge public backlash after heroes Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho were targeted following the defeat.
      Boris Johnson hauled in social media bosses to blast them for failing to tackle racists, while Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have finally agreed to hand trolls’ details to cops.
      A 42-year-old man from Runcorn is the fifth person to have been questioned in connection with claims of abuse.
      One comedian has seen a string of shows cancelled after tweeting: “I’m sorry that black guys are bad at penalties.”
      And a Savills worker has been quizzed after racist abuse was sent from his Twitter account.
      A post from Andrew Bone’s Twitter account branded the players the N-word and claimed the England stars had “ruined it for us” after the loss.
      Bone’s family claimed to The Sun his account had been hacked.
      Another fan has also been arrested over a disgusting post.

      Children’s football coach Nick Scott, 50, initially said he had nothing to do with a vile tweet sent to Rashford.
      He later admitted he may have sent it while drunk – and told The Sun: “If I did, I want Marcus to know that I’m truly sorry and I apologise sincerely.”
      Drewery said he has received a verbal warning from Humberside Police.

      Facebook and Twitter FINALLY hand over details of racist trolls who abused England’s Euro 2020 stars with five arrested

      by

      FACEBOOK, Instagram and Twitter have finally handed over the details of racist trolls who abused England’s Euro 2020 stars.Five people have been arrested after heroes Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho were targeted following England’s heartbreaking defeat.

      Social media giants had faced mounting pressure to give up the thugs posting abuse – after bosses were hauled before Boris Johnson for a dressing-down earlier this week.
      Chief Constable Mark Roberts, the National Police Chiefs’ Council football policing lead, said the companies are now “working very closely” with the UK Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) to track down the vile trolls.
      It comes as:

      Mr Roberts said: “The racial abuse aimed at our own players following Sunday night’s game is utterly vile and has quite rightly shocked and appalled people across the country.
      “Our England team have been true role models during the tournament, conducting themselves with professionalism and dignity.
      “I’m disgusted there are individuals out there who think it’s acceptable to direct such abhorrent abuse at them, or at anybody else.
      “The UKFPU investigation is well under way and work continues to identify those responsible.
      “We are working very closely with social media platforms, who are providing data we need to progress inquiries.
      “If we identify that you are behind this crime, we will track you down and you will face the serious consequences of your shameful actions.”
      A 42-year-old man from Runcorn is the fifth person to have been questioned, Cheshire Police confirmed on Thursday.
      The man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of displaying threatening, abusive or insulting written material. He has since been released under investigation pending further inquires.
      Saka in a statement on Thursday: “To the social media platforms Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, I don’t want any child or adult to have to receive the hateful and hurtful messages that me, Marcus and Jadon have received this week.
      “I knew instantly the kind of hate that I was about to receive and that is a sad reality that your powerful platforms are not doing enough to stop these messages.”
      Meanwhile, school meals hero Rashford said: “I can take critique of my performance all day long, my penalty wasn’t good enough, it should have gone in.
      “But I will never apologise for who I am and where I came from.”
      The UKFPU said that, as of Tuesday, 897 football-related incidents and 264 arrests had been recorded across the country in the 24-hour period surrounding the final.
      That took the number of football-related incidents during the tournament to 2,344, and arrests to 630.
      Asked about measures to tackle the issue following a speech in Coventry, the Prime Minister acknowledged the Government had “got to go further” than simply extending the scope of football banning orders to include online abuse.
      Banning orders exclude people from attending matches for between three and 10 years.
      One comedian has seen a string of shows cancelled after tweeting: “I’m sorry that black guys are bad at penalties.”
      And a Savills worker has been arrested racist abuse was sent from his Twitter account.

      Facebook promise ‘new tools’ to combat vile abuse as Raheem Sterling targeted on Instagram after Man City win over PSG

      by

      FACEBOOK has promised ‘new tools’ to combat vile online abuse after Raheem Sterling became the latest footballer to be targeted by sick trolls on social media.The Manchester City star, 26, was the victim of vile comments shortly after helping his side reach the Champions League final at Paris Saint-Germain’s expense on Tuesday night.
      Facebook have vowed to roll out ‘new tools’ to combat social media abuse after Raheem Sterling was trolled on Instagram earlier this weekCredit: PA
      The revolting abuse on Instagram came less than 48 hours after English football’s social media boycott ended.
      And now Facebook – who own Instagram – have vowed they are ‘committed’ to ending online abuse and have even promised ‘new tools’ to combat trolls.
      A Facebook statement read: “The racist abuse sent to Raheem Sterling is unacceptable and we do not want it on Instagram.
      “We have removed the comment and taken action against the account that posted it.
      “As part of our ongoing work in this space, we’ll soon be rolling out new tools to help prevent people seeing abusive messages from strangers.
      “No single thing will fix this challenge overnight.
      “But we’re committed to doing what we can to keep our community safe from abuse.”
      Sterling has previously spoken out about being abused online, demanding social media sites take responsibility – and action.

      In October, the England winger said: “I don’t know how many times I need to say this…
      “Football and social media platforms need to step up, show real leadership and take proper action in tackling online abuse.
      “The technology is there to make a difference, but I’m increasingly questioning if there is the will.”
      Sterling was speaking in response to a worrying report, commission by the PFA and Kick It Out, which found:

      43 per cent of players involved in the study experienced targeted and explicitly racist abuse
      Almost one in three racist posts featured emojis
      Half of the abuse was launched at Sterling, Wilfried Zaha and Adebayo Akinfenwa alone.

      Why is there a Premier League social media blackout?
      Across the sporting world, accounts on social media will fall silent this weekend.
      The initiative is a show of solidarity against racism, with all 20 Premier League clubs involved.
      Billed as ‘weekend of action’, Twitter accounts which would usually be buzzing with activity across a bank-holiday period will instead be dormant.
      The move is a bid to ramp up pressure on social platforms to act against online hate and abuse after a spate of recent incidents.
      Thierry Henry last month told SunSport’s Troy Deeney why he quit social media.
      The Arsenal legend shut down his accounts to take a stand against online abuse.

      Twitter have responded to the campaign indirectly, posting a statement which condemned racist behaviour on their site.
      It read: “Racist behaviour, abuse and harassment have absolutely no place on our service and alongside our partners in football, we condemn racism in all its forms.
      “We are resolute in our commitment to ensure the football conversation on our service is safe for fans, players and everyone involved in the game.
      “Since the started on September 12th, there have been over 30m Tweets from people in the UK about football.
      The blackout is designed to put pressure on social media companiesCredit: PA
      “In that time we have removed over 7,000 Tweets in the UK that were targeting the football conversation with violations of the Twitter Rules.
      “This represents roughly 0.02% of the overall football conversation in the UK and does not reflect the vast majority of people who engage in vibrant discussions about football on Twitter. 
      “Racism is a deep societal and complex issue and everyone has a role to play. 
      “We are committed to dong our part and continue to work closely with valued partners in football, government and police, along with the working group convened by Kick It Out to identify ways to tackle this issue collectively – both online and away from social media.”

      Who else is taking part?
      Alongside SunSport, a number of other broadcasters including Sky Sports, BT Sport and Guardian Sport will all fall silent on Twitter from 3pm on Friday.
      Uefa will follow suit, as well as accounts for the FA, Premier League clubs, EFL, Women’s Super League, PFA, Kick It Out and the Football Supporters Association.
      English cricket and Premiership rugby have also announced they intend to support the boycott.

      EVERY English football club will join a social media boycott today in protest at online hate.The FA, Premier League, EFL and the women’s game will turn off Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for four days. 
      Thierry Henry has led the charge for big tech reforms over online abuseCredit: PA
      They are calling on social media firms to stem the “relentless” flow of abuse.
      In an act of unity, The Sun will stop posting on our Twitter accounts from 3pm today until 11.59pm on Monday.
      France’s Thierry Henry, who has led the charge for big tech reform, was “thrilled” by the show of strength.
      He said: “It is a powerful statement.”
      Writing in today’s Sun, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden warns social media giants to act or face the consequences.
      Under his Online Safety Bill, companies could be shut down if they fail to remove abuse. 
      He writes: “Under the legislation, if social media companies fail to keep their promises to users – if they don’t quickly remove racist abuse, for example – they will face severe sanctions.
      “For the very worst failures, they could have their sites blocked.
      “They could also face huge fines of up to ten percent of annual global turnover.
      “For a company like Facebook or YouTube, that could be billions.”
      The Arsenal legend said of the online boycott: ‘It is a powerful statement’Credit: AFP

      He continues: “English football coming off social media is a powerful statement.
      “Everything that tries to destroy the beauty and the happiness of our game — we should fight it.
      “This is my happiest moment. Football stands for something. Not only money.”
