Tyson Fury co-promoter Frank Warren said Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn was lying with his recent comments on the ongoing combat talks.
The two British heavyweights now hold the four main world heavyweight titles and could meet in an undisputed historic confrontation.

Hearn previously told talkSPORT: “There have been a lot of conversations with Bob Arum [Fury’s US co-promoter] and MTK [Fury’s management company]. We are happy to do the trick now for the winner of this fight…
“Maybe we are doing two fights? Maybe we do one abroad; we could go to Vegas, go somewhere else, then in the summer go back to the UK.
“The key is to fight. But we are happy to do this fight now with Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder – optional. We don’t mind. We don’t care who wins.
“We just want the belt; AJ just wants to be undisputed. “

Frank Warren responded by telling reporters, “Bob Arum and I called the press last night. And, as Bob said, no conversation took place.
“Nor can they take place unless all interested parties are seated around the table.
“What he says, Eddie Hearn, is false. False, lying, whatever you want to call it, it didn’t happen …
“Do we want the fight? Of course we want the fight. But it will be something that will be done collectively. “
