Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn however is eager for the fight to take place on 17 December with Fury adamant the will only fight on 26 November at Wembley Stadium or 3 December in Cardiff.

‘The Gypsy King’ is refusing to budge and in a warning to Joshua on social media, insists he will pull his offer unless the Olympian agrees to one of his proposed dates by the end of the day.

‘AJ, I’ve not heard from you at all, you’ve never said if you want this fight or you don’t,’ Fury said in a video shared on Twitter.

‘I’m going to do a video, one an hour, for the full f*****g day until you agree or don’t agree. Let us know.

‘Just to clarify, there has never been a 17 December date, there has only ever been 26 November, at Wembley or 3 December at Cardiff. there has never been a date on the 17^th.

‘AJ, Eddie, don’t get scared now, agree to the fight and let’s give the fans what they want. Let’s go.’

Fury added: And AJ, if you really wanted to this fight you would say and just do it. 26 November or 3 December.

‘No way out, take the fight. Take my offer or leave my offer.’

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren reiterated that deadline in an interview with IFLTV.

‘The offer is there and we need an answer quickly. Tyson has told me this morning that if they don’t come back with the thumbs up then we move on,’ Warren said.

Asked about a specific deadline, Warren added: ‘Today. There is nothing to discuss. The nucleus of the deal shouldn’t be a problem.’
