Joshua vs Fury: Tyson Fury says he is looking for new opponent and calls out Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have signed contracts with Saudi Arabian promoter Sela to fight each other

Tyson Fury claims he is looking for a new opponent for November and has called out Oleksandr Usyk despite being contracted to fight Anthony Joshua next.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is being targeted for November, with both Joshua and Fury signing individual contracts for the contest.

But the issue of where the fight takes place has caused a delay in an official announcement with organisers pushing to stage it in the US rather than Joshua's preferred location of Wembley Stadium.

In an expletive-laden video posted on Instagram, Fury claimed Joshua was backing out of the fight.

"Oleksandr you're his [Joshua's] trainer and his sensei and you know he is weak minded... and that he would never fight the Gypsy King which you have had the guts to do twice.

"Good luck to you, let's do it again. Let's run it back in November. The ball is now in your court... do you want to fight me this year, 2026, or are you calling it quits?

Fury has twice lost to Usyk, with the two-time undisputed heavyweight champion now working with Joshua as part of his training and coaching team.

Sela, Queensberry and Matchroom declined to comment on whether talks had broken down when contacted by BBC Sport.

Saudi Arabian promoter Sela is fronting the bill for the prospective Joshua-Fury fight, with both men signing separate contracts with the company.

Joshua's contract stipulates it must take place in the UK, leading to his promoter Eddie Hearn renegotiating details in that deal.

But after London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan made a public plea for the fight to happen at Wembley, Hearn said talks about staging it in the UK had "re-opened".
