Tyson Fury has claimed his fight with Anthony Joshua is in danger of being called off just days after it was officially announced.
The long awaited bout was declared official on Thursday with a news conference scheduled in London for the following week.
However, issues regarding Eddie Hearn and Dana White are reportedly threatening to once again see the fight called off. Fury took to social media to deliver an outburst against both Hearn and Joshua.
"Breaking news, AJ and Eddie are trying to pulling out of the fight," he said.
'It's mainly to do with Eddie Hearn's ego. He's making up a million different things. AJ, pull your finger out you little white-flagged, yellow-bellied coward. Now you've got Turki Alalshikh finding alternative real men who will fight at the drop of a hat. So I hope you are happy you cowardly b------s.'"
No official announcement regarding the fight being called off has been made but it's the latest in a long list of issues regarding putting the to two British heavyweights in the ring together.
Hearn has disputed the involvement of White in promoting the fight between Fury and Joshua after a press release said the event will be a partnership between Turki Alalshikh, Ring Magazine and UFC President and Zuffa Boxing's White.

"Dana White cannot be involved with this fight promotion. Netflix clearly didn't get the memo. No one talks to each other. I speak to Sela and Turki: 'No. Dana White is not involved in the fight. You've got a contract that says that. He won't be at the presser ... Blah, blah, blah.
"Then Netflix say the fight is in conjunction with Dana White. Now we have to go through that process and deal with it. It's a little bit annoying but as I've shown through the UK battle that we won, we stand by our contracts."
Matchroom declined to comment when approached by ESPN.
