'That's facts' – Anthony Joshua labels Tyson Fury a 'duck' amid frustrations over fight talks

Anthony Joshua has made his thoughts about Tyson Fury very clear.
Speaking to DAZN, Joshua was asked whether Fury was ducking him, and AJ replied: "I wish I could balance this, cause he's ducking.
“He's definitely a duck. Whether he's ducking me, not right now, but he's definitely a duck.
“That's facts, like you can't deny he's a duck.
“So if we're gonna pull out the animal cards I'm pulling out a duck with Fury."
This stems from the fact that Fury and Joshua have been in talks to fight on a number of occasions, but the fight has never come to fruition.
The pair were in negotiations to fight in 2021 for the undisputed heavyweight world titles, but a court of arbitration ruled that Fury instead had to take on Deontay Wilder for a third time.
And then late last year talks reopened, but once again, negotiations collapsed almost as quickly as they begun.
With that being said, Fury had also been accused of ‘ducking’ Oleksandr Usyk, but now it seems the two men are set to fight either on December 23 or in January next year.
Although before that, Fury will have to get past his next test against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
