Anthony Joshua's camp have responded to claims from Tyson Fury that he has sent a contract offer to the heavyweight.
On Friday, Fury tweeted to say that he had sent Joshua's team a proposal to fight at Wembley Stadium in November. He said: "A few days ago i sent a draft contract to Anthony Joshua for a fight in September at Wembley Stadium. It;s a fight that everyone wants to see including myself.
"Come of AJ let's give the world what they want to see. This time I'm not gonna make a million vids & keep putting pressure on. The ball is now on your side."
The reference to the videos the series of online clips the Gypsy King posted to call out Oleksandr Usyk before talks over a fight between the duo broke down.
Despite Fury's claims though, Eddie Hearn has revealed that no offer has been sent to Joshua.
IFL have reported that Hearn confirmed that Frank Warren's son, George, had reached out to speak to them about arranging a fight for September.
But Hearn doesn't believe Fury's proposal and is planning to keep 2012 Olympic gold medalist Joshua on his current path, which is a fight in August before taking on Deontay Wilder in December in Saudi Arabia.
