Tyson Fury has appeared to suggest he will have to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time

19 May 2021

Fury claims the American has demanded 20 million US dollars to step aside and pave the way for a highly-anticipated all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua.

Promoter Eddie Hearn had given Fury's team a deadline of the end of this week to salvage his prospective showdown against WBA, IBF and WBO champion Joshua in Saudi Arabia.

The contest has been thrown into doubt by a legal ruling in the United States that Fury is contractually bound to fulfil a third meeting with Wilder.
