Tyson Fury does not expect to face Anthony Joshua in his next fight after Deontay Wilder requested US $20 million to step aside and allow their bout to go ahead.

Fury agreed to face Joshua in a highly-anticipated fight in August.

But Wilder's team forced an arbitration hearing which concluded that Wilder had a contractual right to face Fury for a third time and by 15th September.

Fury says Wilder asked for $20 million to move over and adds that looks like he will have to crack his skull again.

Fury posted his message on Instagram over a video of Wilder working out with trainer Malik Scott.

Scott has also posted, stating Wilder declined and had no interest in step-aside money.
