Tyson Fury claims his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder will not happen, so he plans to fight a different opponent in the UK later this year instead.

WBC heavyweight champion Fury was contracted to a third clash with Wilder, targeted for December 19 in Las Vegas, but a lack of confirmation means he wants to go in another direction.

Fury has agreed financial terms to two fights with IBF, WBA and WBO champion Anthony Joshua for 2021 - but first wants to fight before the end of 2020

Fury tweeted on Monday: "The Gypsy King is coming home. See you all in December."

He previously told The Athletic: "Wilder and his team were messing around with the date.

"Then they asked me if I would agree to push it to December. I agreed to December 19.

"Then they tried to change the date again into next year. I've been training. I'm ready.

"When they tried moving off December 19 and pushing to next year, enough was enough. I've moved on."

Frank Warren, Fury's UK-based promoter, told TalkSport: "Tyson has said enough is enough, he is not going to wait longer and he will fight in London in December."

Wilder lost his world title and long undefeated run in his second fight with Fury earlier this year.

Reports of their third meeting being cancelled were shot down by Wilder's co-manager Shelly Finkel, who told Sky Sports on Saturday: "They are wrong, we will fight in December."

Yeh Floyd's protege Gevonta Davis, knocked out Leo Santa Cruz with best uppercut you will ever see. And the vicious puncher Inoue winning again

Just watched that uppercut, absolute monster punch - knocked right out cold on the canvas. Love to see him against Lopez or Lomachenko sometime.

He hits like a mule, interesting when no real crowd in you can hear just how hard they punch and he was crunching them in,.

Makes you wince hearing the sound, Santa Cruz is no mug either and dished out a few decent punches as well.
