Tyson Fury has declared he will not be fighting Anthony Joshua because \u201cno contract has been signed\u201d after his self-imposed 5pm deadline on Monday.<\/p>\n

Joshua said on Sunday he will sign the contract to fight Fury after the WBC champion issued an ultimatum if they are to put together their all-British heavyweight battle this year.<\/p>\n

Fury, who initially called for Joshua to sign the contract by Monday,\u00a0returned to Instagram\u00a0to state that Joshua had until 5pm otherwise he will walk away from the deal.<\/p>\n

He goes on to say: \u201cI always knew you didn\u2019t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King. Good luck with your career, and your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joshua had assured Fury on Sunday that he would sign the contract, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s not in my hands, it\u2019s with the legal team. That\u2019s why you hire lawyers. You know the history of boxing, make sure you get your legal terms right.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, I\u2019m going to sign a contract. It\u2019s just with some lawyers at the minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury may still fight before the end of the year, but the undisputed showdown with WBO, WBA and IBF titlist Oleksandr Usyk will have to wait until next year.<\/p>\n

Mahmoud Charr last week called on Fury to forget about fighting Joshua in December, and to fight him instead.<\/p>\n

Former WBA \u2018regular\u2019 champion Charr insists Fury should not be fighting Joshua, following AJ\u2019s back-to-back defeats at the hands of Usyk.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, if Fury fights AJ next, it\u2019s not good for boxing. AJ is mentally broken and he needs recovery from his two losses,\u201d Charr told\u00a0Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Eddie Hearn accepts this fight vs Fury, Eddie [will] have to change his business. I think Fury will give AJ a bad knockout, [given] his mental position now.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows Fury promised more than one time to fight me. If he is the real Spartan, he must fight the real Superman. It\u2019s me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m coming from a five-win [streak] and God gave me another chance to live. Everyone knows I come from getting shot in my stomach and two hip operations. Never forget, seven months later I became the first Arabic heavyweight champion of the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis story is the same like Fury, to not give up and fight for legacy. I want Fury next. Don\u2019t be scared, Spartan, take my challenge!\u201d<\/p>\n
