Tyson Fury not optimistic fight against Anthony Joshua will take place

Tyson Fury claims he has never been optimistic his much-anticipated all-British heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua will happen.

Fury's scheduled WBC world title defence against Deontay Wilder in July was postponed following a positive coronavirus test for the 33-year-old.

With that trilogy contest rearranged for October 9 and Joshua set to defend his IBF, WBA and WBO titles against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk in London on September 25, a clash between the British rivals does not appear to be on the near horizon.

A court ruling in May had forced Fury to ditch an immediate bout with Joshua and instead face his American rival once again following a controversial draw with the 'Bronze Bomber' in December 2018 before the 'Gypsy King' delivered a seventh-round knockout in Las Vegas during February last year.

Considering all the background politics and public war of words between the British heavyweights, getting them to settle their differences in the ring anytime soon seems some way off.

"I've never been optimistic about this fight happening," Fury told Gary Neville's The Overlap YouTube channel.

"And even when we said it was going to happen in Saudi Arabia and the deal was done, I still wasn't optimistic about it, and guess what? It never happened."

The Manchester fighter added: "I see through all of that stuff saying he hates me, and I am his worst enemy, but I have hardly met the guy, I think he loves me really.

"He used to be a fanboy of mine, he used to follow me on Instagram and Twitter, but as soon as he became a boxer and a famous superstar he unfollowed me and pretended he hated me.

"I have done in the sport exactly what he would want to do and all the things he hasn't yet done."

:: The Overlap is a new YouTube channel from Gary Neville in partnership with Sky Bet.
