Anthony Joshua is pleased that people are finally getting to see how difficult negotiations with Tyson Fury can be.
The anticipated undisputed heavyweight world title clash between Fury and Usyk, that was expected to take place on April 29 at Wembley Stadium, has been called off.
The negotiations have been chaotic throughout, especially in recent weeks, with Fury making a number of demands, such as a 70/30 split in his favour and no rematch clause.

One man who has had first hand experience of what it is like to make a fight with Fury is Anthony Joshua.
The pair first seemed set to fight in 2021, but a court of arbitration ruled that Fury had to take on Deontay Wilder in a trilogy bout, meaning a clash with Joshua was scuppered.
Late last year, Fury invited Joshua back to the table, but on this occasion, delays in the contracts being signed led to the fight collapsing once again.

“I will be real, as much as I like to entertain that gossip and Fury situation, I have been there twice and people don’t remember that,” Joshua said, as he reacted to the chaotic debacle between the Gyspy King and Usyk.
“I was supposed to fight him before I fought Usyk, the first time, and he pulled out due to his legal case, the arbitration, with Wilder. That was all up in the air and done online.
“Look at all the s*** they are going through now with this Usyk stuff. It’s just crazy.
“I don’t publicise things so it’s actually good that people are starting to see what goes on in negotiations.
“It’s good that people can actually see the s*** that people have got to put up with to make a fight.
“Me and Usyk got two successful fights done. It’s just crazy.”
