Talks between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury over a potential heavyweight super-fight have been put on hold out of respect for the late Queen Elizabeth the second who died on Thursday.

Following Joshua’s second straight decision defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August, a result that saw Joshua fail to regain the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO titles from the Ukrainian, it was believed that an all-British clash between the British-Nigerian and Fury looked to have slipped away for good.

Both fighters paid tribute to the monarch with posts on social media, and out of respect have not posted any further updates.
