Anthony Joshua has been labelled an ‘idiot’ and a ‘coward’ after missing Tyson Fury’s deadline to sign the contract for their planned blockbuster fight.

Joshua was offered the proposition of becoming world heavyweight boxing champion once again by Fury despite his second defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk. Having seemingly lost his shot at a title after two losses on the bounce, AJ was given another chance by the Gypsy King in a potential clash which would finally settle the scores between the two British fighters.

Both had seemed in agreement for a fight to take place in December after back-and-forths on social media. But an impatient Fury claimed he would move on from the fight on the weekend if Joshua did not put pen to paper on Monday, which the latter apparently failed to do.

Fury took to social media to post a video message, saying: "Well guys, it's official. D-Day has come and gone, it's gone past 5'o'clock Monday and no contract has been signed.

"It's officially over for Joshua, he's now out in the cold with the wolf pack. Forget about it. Idiot, coward, s***house, bodybuilder.

“Always knew you didn't have the minerals to fight the Gyspy King. Regardless of what you say now, I don't really care. Good luck with your career and your life, end of."

Anthony Joshua took the best decision of his life. Fury is just looking for who to kill in boxing ring.

He who fights and run away, know where em strength reach

Say Joshua mistakenly accept that fight, Fury for beat am like who thief phone for Oshodi

Yes, he is a coward, leave it like that.

You dey find who you go kill, abeg getat.

Joshua collect abeg

He isn't ready. Simple.
He who (fights and) runs away, lives to fight another day.

Joshua will not win any big fight in his life again. He allowed buhari to touch his belt at a time when everyone was running away from buhari's failure

Joshua collect abeg

This meme though.

AJ na real Ijebu Agbado
warrior

Better to be assumed to be a coward than to be seen as a coward on TV.

AJ, no let them hype you to go collect more beating. You have enough money to last you for a lifetime.

Invest well and you will not have to be knocked out ever again on TV. If you do well, you can turn into a coach and start teaching people on how to avoid getting knocked out

So, if they leave you, you will advise AJ to fight him?

Fear God nah

If it's to fight DJ CUPPY in bed, Baba go sign all the contract available, but come to the Ring and see Fury, he ran away.

AJ na akamu boxer

Fear God nah

I can't advise him on such deadly journey of no return.

Fury wey dey look for who to murder. AJ did the right thing abeg. E better make person be coward and live than to form brave and die for nothing.

AJ really escaped death by dodging that fight. His God is alive

The decision to know when to be beaten and when not to be beaten is divine.

Joshua choose right

Tyson Fury dey find who he wan kill.
Anthony Joshua say im get unfinished business with DJ Cuppy's succulent bweasts. Na why he nor gree sign up for the fight.

Joshua is an outdated boxer.
Even DJ Cuppy don dump am.

Ok

U want kill Emi Lokan!

Na so e be

Deep down fury is afraid to fight Joshua

C

who really wants a fight and gives a rush 5pm deadline? only chicken fury

Ur dedicated ur belt to buhari now look how bad ur career has gone down

Joshua took the best decision here. After three losses in the last 4 matches, dude's self confidence is extremely low. It is just like West Ham after several losses trying to play Real Madrid. That is suicidal.

AJ should try and evolve and diversify into modelling. He's too soft for the game of boxing.
You need the heart of stone to actually succeed in boxing but my guy is lily livered. He should try something new

Pride they say, goes before a fall.

When Joshua prostrated belle flat on ground for president Buhari, Joshua started to lose steam.
