Tyson Fury Calls Anthony Joshua a Coward as November Fight Stalls Over Venue

Summary
Tyson Fury said talks for a long-awaited bout with Anthony Joshua were becoming "quite tiring," accusing the 36-year-old rival of being a "coward" who does not want the fight.
Venue remains the main obstacle to a proposed November showdown: Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn have signed for a UK fight, while organizers are understood to prefer the United States.
Hearn has said contracts would need to be renegotiated if the bout moves outside Britain, raising the risk that the blockbuster all-British heavyweight clash slips further.
Frank Warren said Fury, 38, is already fully committed, saying the contract is signed by Fury after his win over Mariusz Wach last month kept the matchup on track.
