Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have stopped FaceTiming each other as an announcement on their fight is due.
The Brits are looking to face each other in a unifying bout to decide the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Talk about the fight started after the Gypsy King won the WBC belt from Deontay Wilder over a year ago. And it saw them stay in regular contact, with Fury sharing one of his FaceTimes to the IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO champion on a documentary.
But the Gypsy King has been staying focussed on himself as contract talks have continued.
The Sun quote the Mancunian as revealing: “I haven’t spoken to AJ at all during this deal, we used to FaceTime each other but not recently.
“Other people are getting paid a lot to get this done so we don’t need to.”

Speaking to YouTube channel Behind the Gloves, the Gypsy King said: “I have been told there are a few good offers on the table, from a few different countries, from some very rich people, so I am confident.
“Saudi is involved, I will say that much, but there are also some dark horses involved who have offered some serious money.
The Gypsy King also said he is expecting news soon – but is still willing to ‘move on’ if it doesn’t come soon
