Tyson Fury, the British heavyweight boxer, has firmly rejected the possibility of fighting Anthony Joshua, regardless of the money or titles involved. Despite coming close to an agreement in the past, they have been unable to finalize a deal.

Initially, Fury and Joshua had terms in place for an undisputed super-fight in August 2020. However, Fury was ordered into a contractual trilogy with Deontay Wilder, leading Joshua to face Oleksandr Usyk twice, resulting in two points-based losses, and leaving Joshua's career at a standstill.

Following those defeats, Joshua returned in April by defeating Jermaine Franklin. Fury claimed to have offered Joshua a world title shot for his WBC title in September, but received no response. Fury now believes that Joshua may not agree to the fight, even with substantial financial incentives or titles on the line.

Fury stated, "Me and my team, my lawyers, have come to the conclusion and accepted the fact that AJ won’t fight me for any money or any titles." He mentioned seeing footage of Joshua training by punching a mattress, but he's uncertain about the context of the video.

In the meantime, Joshua is set to face Robert Helenius on Saturday, after Dillian Whyte was withdrawn due to a failed drug test. Fury, on the other hand, is preparing for his next bout against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
