John Fury says Tyson Fury's Battle of Britain clash with Anthony Joshua will not take place until next year as a defeat to the Gypsy King would be 'financial suicide' for AJ and his team.
Negotiations over the proposed bout have been ongoing for the past month, with both sides claiming confirmation of the clash was being held up by the other's camp.
However, John has said that Tyson and his team have been 'dogging AJ like you wouldn't believe for the fight' and that they would 'take the bout tomorrow'.
As a result, he believes Eddie Hearn and Matchroom boxing are trying to protect their 'Golden Boy' as another loss would ruin his career and their team's brand.
