Fury continues to taunt Joshua

According to the Sun, a source close to the Fury camp said Joshua is already running scared and the silence on his part is defeaning. The source further adds that Fury has been on the frontlines of this potential fight which means he has the upper hand on Joshua.

So far AJ has allowed his management team to do all the talking. In contrast, Tyson has been front and centre pushing for this contest and taking the fight directly to Joshua. Tyson thinks this says it all and that he already has the upper hand and that he has AJ on the run.

Meanwhile, Joshua has struggled in the last few fights, losing three of the last five including last month's bout with Oleksandr Usyk. 34-year-old Fury told Joshua that the 60/40 deal is good.
