Fury claimed his proposed Battle of Britain with Joshua was off on Monday after the latter failed to sign before a deadline of 5pm, which he set despite Warren maintaining that talks were progressing at a good pace.

However, the Gypsy King has now revealed that his promoter successfully convinced him to extend the deadline for a few more days, while insisting AJ is still running out of time after broadcasters BT, DAZN and ESPN reached an agreement over television rights.
