JAKARTA - Tyson Fury did not appear to want to face Anthony Joshua after negotiations between the two sides about the potential for the fight failed.
"He doesn't have any belts. He doesn't have anything I need, and there will never be a fight between me and him," Tyson Fury told Sky Sports, quoted Friday.
"Stop completely. Too much mess. I won't do it again. It's too difficult to handle."
Negotiations reportedly failed as Fury tried to urge Joshua to put the pen on paper, but the famous boxer believed Joshua never wanted to face it.
"That fight didn't happen. The reason I believe in is that they never wanted it to happen and they never intended to do that," Fury claimed.
"The first week [negotiations] I believed he was interested in the fight, then he realized the scary task and he was discussed by his people and himself."
"If that wasn't the reason, he would be here now to fight, not Derek (Chisora). But he isn't and that's it."
Fury could be offered the opportunity to face Joshua next year if Joshua bounces back with some solid wins.
However, Gypsy King is no longer passionate about facing the boxer nicknamed AJ.
"There is no Joshua, nothing more, no more wasting of time," Fury said.
"In his way, he is in a comfortable position, and he is working hard for it. I will not discredit his appearance or discredit his achievements. What I can harm is his lack of commitment to the British public."
Fury will face Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
