Anthony Joshua says failure to make the bout is 'crazy' · Fight was due to take place at Wembley Stadium in April.

Usyk said he was still ready to fight Fury and, again for a fleeting few days, it seemed as if the bout could be rescued. If he is on it, I am on it, if he is not, he is not. It seemed as if a deal had been struck, only for Fury to then insist that he would not agree to any rematch clause being added to the contract. “As much as I like to entertain that gossip about the Fury situation,” Joshua said, “I have been there twice before and people don’t remember that. Usyk, to the surprise of many, accepted the reduced offer that same day. The Ukrainian had sought a 50-50 split of the highly lucrative purse but Fury rejected this claim on social media last month.
