Tyson Fury’s dissent on the ongoing developments for his fight against Anthony Joshua has worried a lot of fans. However, the promoters are optimistic about the negotiations, and Queensberry Kingpin, Frank Warren, has hinted at finishing off the paperwork by the end of this week.

The ultimate British heavyweight showdown has been advertised for several years and despite being verbally confirmed, it’s yet to be declared officially. That said, WBC titleholder, Tyson Fury, has appeared vexed and didn’t confirm ‘AJ’ as his next opponent.

However, Frank Warren has explained the whole situation to talkSPORT.

“We’ve all agreed to announce any news simultaneously, so I can’t break a confidence I’ve agreed to. It’s absolutely moving in the right direction and everybody is on the same page. Nobody is more frustrated than the fighters and us, we’ve worked like you cannot believe to get this over the line.

I think Tyson is a bit peed off about it because it’s dragging on and on and on. Hopefully, everybody will be getting the good news soon, they’ll be happy and everyone can more onto the next stage of this, which is to get this site sorted out,” said Warren.

The fight date still concerns a lot of fans, but Warren has an update for that too.
