I have just been told that BT, Dazn, ESPN all the broadcasters are all happy with the terms and are ready to support this fight. Your side has been given a contract that allows you to see every contract to negotiate contracts with any partners on the event.

We have agreed to do it as co-promotion, everything in the pot, clean, fair, and transparently.
I had a bet with Frank that it didn’t matter what we offered you, you would not take this fight.

So, it’s up to you, either I win my bet and you show the public the coward that you are or get your lawyers and your team on the phone today with my side, who are all available as they have been the whole time and get the contract signed.

You have had this contract for 2 weeks now, my team have got everything done with the broadcasters, tickets, venue everything is ready to go.

Someone sent me a video of your man Eddie, talking about the Wilder fight with you a while back and he says in there if you want a fight made, you, your team and your lawyers move quickly to make it happen.
— TYSON FURY (@Tyson_Fury) September 29, 2022
You have had 14 days, pull your finger out and make this fight happen for the British boxing public.
Don’t be a coward, instruct your team to get this deal done. @anthonyjoshua
