Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has disclosed that he is ready to move on and has alternative opponents on standby for November if his long-awaited fight with Anthony Joshua falls through. Fury slammed Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn over financial and location disputes, warning that he will look to other options if an agreement isn’t finalized. In an interview with Gareth A. Davies, Fury said: “I am training for self-preservation.
I am training to keep fit. Keep active, and I am looking at a date in November over here (America) to fight Anthony Joshua. But if that fight doesn’t happen then we have quite a few champions on standby. “Let’s face it, I am the money in the room and all of these people want to fight me.
Obviously, winning a belt is great and it’s a lifetime achievement, but you need to get paid with that belt as well. I think the only person who they can fight at the moment, to make any money, is me. We will pick one of them.” He later added: “If it does not happen in November, I will fight somebody else.
I have a contract, and I have had many contracts in my life, and I have never not honoured any of them. “So, whatever that contract states, I will honour because that’s what I do – I make things happen that I sign for. If I did not want to do something, I would not have signed the contract to do it.
Therefore, it would leave me open to a breach of contract and I will end up in court with a litigation against me.”
