Eddie Hearn who promotes AJ gave fans the impression that the only thing pending for this fight was finalizing a venue and a date. <\/p>\n<p>Reports have now emerged that Tyson Fury has not signed the contract and has no plans on doing so until a bank guarantee is furnished.

However, things have changed and it is now AJ who is calling out Fury. Joshua took to social media to call out Fury respectively and say that he was tired and his fans were tired of all the delays.
