      The two Brits had reportedly agreed to an undisputed clash for August, with Saudia Arabia the chosen location.
      But Wilder had not given up hope of getting a rematch against Fury despite being battered by the Gypsy King in February 2020.
      He insisted there was a trilogy clause in the contract – and an appeal court in the US agreed with the deposed WBC champ.
      The two will fight on July 24.
      Joshua has now been left scrabbling for an opponent – with former undisputed cruiserweight champ Oleksandr Usyk the most likely opponent.
      Speaking to DAZN, Hearn said: “I think it was pretty intentional. AJ felt that Fury never wanted to fight.
      “I don’t particularly trust people on that side. Some people couldn’t let that fight happen. They wanted to keep some kind of control.
      “When they say, they might want (the fight] in December, who knows?”

      Hearn was ringside as Devin Haney defender his WBC lightweight title with a unanimous points win against Jorge Linares.
      Meanwhile, Fury has been tipped to KO Wilder in the FIRST round – by the Gypsy King’s son.
      Prince Fury featured in his dad’s Instagram stories on the weekend to deliver his verdict on the upcoming bout.
      When asked by Tyson, 32, how the fight would turn out, the eldest of five gave a stark warning to Wilder.
      He replied: “You’re gonna knock his teeth out.
      “Knockout, first round… Bam! Right hand.”
      Fury posted the clip online, adding the line ‘teeth all over the ring’ ahead of the July 24 bout.

      Tyson Fury’s son predicts first round KO of Deontay Wilder with brutal one punch that leaves ‘teeth all over ring’

      He replied: “You’re gonna knock his teeth out.

      Las Vegas will host the trilogy fight after the pair infamously drew in 2018 before the Brit’s stunning seventh-round victory last February.
      The WBC belt will be on the line at Allegiant Stadium ahead of a potential unification bout with Anthony Joshua.
      Fury had agreed to fight his countryman in Saudi Arabia this August before a US arbitration ruling demanded he honour Wilder’s rematch clause.
      The sniping has begun between the two camps with Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn hammering Fury’s team for ‘cheating’ the sport.

      He claimed: “I did everything I can and as long as you can look yourself in the mirror and say I couldn’t have done any more, and I couldn’t have done any more than I did.
      “So, rather than celebrate, ‘Oh, these guys they played you’ why don’t you be angry with the fact these guys f***ed up the biggest fight in history and made sure that the undisputed heavyweight world championship didn’t happen.
      “Ask them why the reasons are that they decided to do that.”
      Meanwhile, Fury’s promoter Frank Warren slated Matchroom boss Hearn for revealing the fight before the Wilder situation had been settled.
      He asserted: “Let’s be honest, our side has been just as bad.
      “It would have been better if everyone had kept quiet until it was all signed and over the line.
      “Instead we got stuck in a cycle where their side said something and our side had to respond. Too many agendas and egos took over.
      “Boxing needs to learn from this process.”

      Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fight negotiations ‘a mess’ which boxing needs to learn from, slams Frank Warren

      by

      FRANK WARREN has admitted the negotiations over Tyson Fury’s fight with Anthony Joshua were ‘a mess’.Plans for a huge heavyweight unification bout were announced before dramatically collapsing with a US court ruling that the Gypsy King must first face Deontay Wilder.

      That trilogy battle will take place in July and Fury’s promoter has blamed ‘agendas and egos’ for jumping the gun on the AJ deal.
      Warren is quoted by the BBC as saying: “Let’s be honest, our side has been just as bad.
      “It would have been better if everyone had kept quiet until it was all signed and over the line.
      “Instead we got stuck in a cycle where their side said something and our side had to respond. Too many agendas and egos took over.
      “Boxing needs to learn from this process.”
      He added: “The whole process has been a mess.”
      Eddie Hearn has come in for criticism from Warren for breaching a confidentiality clause in the Fury-Joshua contract.
      The 69-year-old wants boxing to learn lessons from the saga and has dismissed talk that Wilder should be handed the WBC belt to step aside.

      He continued: “It’s easy to say throw the belt in the bin, but it has no bearing whatsoever on the judgement cast in the arbitration case.
      “The judge ruled that Tyson must face Deontay Wilder a third time, title or not.
      “The situation is the situation, everyone is frustrated but we are bound by the arbitration ruling so Tyson has to fight wilder, and be at his best, forget the BS, get the win and then knock out AJ in December.
      “And, for anyone asking why this fight was so quickly arranged, the terms of the fight were agreed in the contract for the second fight.
      “This was as simple as signing the paper.”

      Anthony Joshua wants to sit down with Tyson Fury’s dad John for a Guinness and talk boxing after Deontay Wilder claims

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA praised John Fury for his criticism of son Tyson’s fight with Deontay Wilder – now the Watford star wants to have a pint and talk with the former fighter. The Brits were due to do battle to unify the heavyweight division in August, only for the Gypsy King’s camp to be drawn into the trilogy contest.

      Following the saga, Tyson’s dad, John, slammed the ‘leeches’ in the 32-year-old’s camp for changing course.
      And his claims have earned respect from Joshua, who has revealed his desire to discuss boxing over a Guinness with the 57-year-old former boxer.
      AJ posted on his Snapchat, via talkSPORT: “I’ve got a lot of time for this interview, good listen.
      “Some massive statements have been made if you listen carefully.
      “I would want to sit down with JF, have a Guinness and talk fighting.”
      Joshua is now set to face Oleksandr Usyk while Fury takes on Wilder for a third time, on July 14 in Las Vegas.
      It means fans will have to wait for the heavyweight champions’ showdown, which John Fury had also wanted to see.
      Tyson’s dad told BT Sport that he fears the opportunity has been lost with ‘complacency’ and ‘fair play’ an issue when facing Wilder again.

      He stated: “Anything rushed is no good, and that’s been rushed.
      “He was fighting AJ. I wanted him to fight AJ. I’ve no interest in Deontay Wilder, so why has he got to fight Wilder?
      “I told him on a phone conversation, ‘Chuck the belt in the bin. Let them have it. Come back and fight AJ on the 14th of August, like was planned’.”
      Fury Sr added: “I’m just concerned whether Tyson can raise his game for Wilder.
      “Whether he gets complacent, makes a mistake, I don’t know. It’s got every chance of going wrong out there.
      “Because I don’t like how it’s been handled.
      “It’s been badly handled and that’s just my opinion, no-one else’s.”

      Watch Tyson Fury unload brutal shots ‘for Deontay Wilder’s skinny body’ in training as he prepares for trilogy

      TYSON FURY uploaded a clip of him unloading some brutal body shots on the bag ahead of his Deontay Wilder trilogy.And the Gypsy King took full opportunity to taunt his heavyweight rival’s ‘skinny body’ in the Instagram posting.
      Tyson Fury got to work on the bag with some ferocious body shotsCredit: Instagram

      The WBC champ hammered in big rights and lefts to the bag before switching up for a headshot combo.
      And people seemed to be impressed with what they saw.
      Ev Corrales wrote that Fury is ‘the best heavyweight of all time,’ while Eden Garside posted ‘RIP Wilder’.
      Another wrote that Wilder ‘is going down inside two rounds’, with Jordan Watson wanting Fury to ‘fold Wilder in half’.
      Fury utilised some devastating body shots in his stunning seventh-round KO of the previously unbeaten American.
      And now on July 24 the two controversial figures will go at it for a third time.
      They of course drew in their first bout in December 2018 – but most believed Fury should have been declared the winner on the scorecards.
      Meanwhile Tyson’s dad John has slammed the circumstances that led to son fight with Anthony Joshua being abandoned in favour of a third match-up against Wilder.
      And he is worried the Gypsy King could LOSE his trilogy bout against his American rival.

      The timeline of the agreement, which was forced upon Fury after an arbitration ruling in the US, has led to dad John describing the scenario as ‘diabolical’ and a ‘mistake’.
      In an interview with BT Sport, the 57-year-old blamed the American influence in his son’s camp, with some members deemed ‘leeches’.
      He stated: “Tyson, obviously, is in a different league now – 20,000 yes men around him.
      “This is what happens when you get to the top. There’s lot of leeches out there, a lot of hangers on.
      “You can see what’s happening out there in America with him. Appalling work, to be honest with you.
      “But that’s just my opinion, I’m straightforward. That’s Tyson’s business, he’s over 21. It’s up to him.”

      Boxing star Jean Pascal ‘fails drugs test for THREE banned substances’ with Badou Jack fight off leaving rival fuming

      WORLD champion boxer Jean Pascal has reportedly failed a drugs test and is OUT of his big rematch against Badou Jack.The two veteran fighters were scheduled to be the co-feature for Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition fight against Logan Paul on June 6.
      Jean Pascal managed to get a split decision win against Badou Jack in 2019Credit: AP
      My fight with @jeanpascalchamp is OFF as he tested positive for 3 different steroids. We suspected he was dirty the first time around and @Vada_testing confirmed it this time. I’m still fighting on June 6th and my team is looking for a replacement opponent. Alhamdulillah 🙌🏾 pic.twitter.com/hXIw6LOF8L— Badou Jack (@BadouJack) May 29, 2021

      It was a rematch of their December 2019 bout, which saw Pascal, 38, triumph on a split decision.
      But according to Yahoo Sports, Pascal has tested positive for THREE banned substances – steroids epitrenbolone, drostanolone, and drostanolone metabolite A.
      The news has has been met with fury by 37-year-old Jack who is now desperately seeking a replacement.
      After repeating the alleged positive samples in a tweet and tagging in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, the Swedish boxer wrote: “We suspected he was dirty the first time around and @Vada_testing confirmed it this time.
      “I’m still fighting on June 6 and my team is looking for a replacement opponent.”
      In their first fight Pascal floored Jack in round four, but was then flattened himself in the 12th.
      However two of the three judges gave it to Pascal, 114-112, 114-112, 112-114.
      That saw Pascal snatch Jack’s WBA light-heavyweight title.

      But the Canadian has not fought since, while Jack had an easy night’s work defeating rookie Blake McKernan on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s draw with Roy Jones Jr in November.
      After that unanimous points win, Jack called out Pascal in an interview with SunSport.
      He said: “I’ve been waiting for that rematch. Everybody saw I won that fight.
      “It was pushed to like June and July and then October but around that time Pascal said he didn’t want to fight me and he wanted to get paid better or his regular purse.
      “Now they’re saying the first quarter of 2021. That’s the main goal, take care of business and then on to Pascal.”
      But those dreams appear to have been crushed.
