Tyson Fury claims he has offered Anthony Joshua a 60-40 purse split in a bid to get a WBC heavyweight title fight made.
Fury had his sights set on a showdown on a unification bout with WBA, WBO and IBF champion Oleksandr Usyk at the end of 2022, but has now had to turn his attention elsewhere after it emerged the Ukrainian would not be able to box again this year.
The 34-year-old has since offered Joshua, who lost his rematch with Usyk last month, the opportunity to face him before the end of 2022 and on Tuesday posted an update with a video on his Twitter account further outlining his terms.
“I’m being bombarded with messages on how much I’m going to pay AJ,” Fury said. “Everyone is saying ’80-20, 70-30, 75-25′ – the actual answer is I’ve offered him 60-40.
“[That’s] 40 per cent of this amazing fight because I want this fight to happen. He doesn’t have any excuses now not to take it, he can’t say I’ve low-balled him or offered him 20 per cent or 30 per cent.
