In what’s increasingly becoming a laughing stock amongst fans, negotiations for Tyson Fury’s next fight continue to bounce between opponents.
On seeing Fury’s announcement that he has given Anthony Joshua another chance to sign the contract, Mahmoud Charr – the strongly rumoured alternative – took to social media to lash out at ‘The Gypsy King’ for going back on his word.
“Fury, you are the same sh*t like Anthony Joshua. A man is a man. When you say Joshua is out, he’s out. You told everyone you want to fight me, now you are like duck. Take the fight.”
"Fury you are the same sh*t as Anthony Joshua!" ?
Mahmoud Charr hits back at Tyson Fury saying he is now ducking him!

There’s no wonder he’s annoyed. As the number 19 ranked contender for the WBC belt, the Fury fight is a once in a career opportunity that is highly unlikely to come from anywhere else. At age 17 and having fought twice in the last 5 years, this is almost definitely Charr’s final roll of the dice.
‘The Gypsy King’ responded via his own social media, apparently now taking the offer to Joshua off the table once again because he likes how Charr conducts his business.
“So it seems now that AJ’s finally out. He’s ducked his way out in a sh*tbag, coward – and you’re the man who wants to fight. So I like that. I like the fact that you’re very vocal, and the fact that you’re calling for a fight like a real man should do. Any man who wants to fight another man, should call him out as you’ve been doing to me. So I accept your challenge, Manuel Charr, let’s get it on motherf**ker.”

It all feels very ‘job interview feedback’ – but there you have it, Charr has the fight. How quickly that will change is anyone’s guess. Fury followed it up with another video and the novelty idea of fighting Charr and another man in one night, similar to what social media star, KSI, did recently.
“Just doing a little bit of brainstorming. December 3rd is coming, Mahmoud Charr has agreed. Why don’t I fight two people in one night? Mahmoud Charr and somebody else. That would be pretty damn awesome.”
"2 Fights in 1 Night!" ?
Tyson Fury is tempted by fighting Mahmoud Charr and one other opponent on the same night ?
