“Well guys, it’s official, D-day has come and gone. It’s gone past 5 o’clock Monday, no contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua, he is now out in the cold with the wolfpack,” said Fury.

“Forget about it, idiot, coward, s***house, bodybuilder. Always knew it, always knew he didn’t have the minerals to fight the Gypsy King. Regardless of what the f*** you say now, I don’t really care. Good luck with your career and your life, end of, peace out,” he added.
