"So fake" - Fans react to Tyson Fury paying his respects to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace
Tyson Fury and his wife Paris paid their respects to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace earlier today. The duo was spotted carrying a bouquet. Fury wrote a letter and placed it alongside the bouquet at the gates of the palace. The letter read:
"To our Queen, Great may your bed be in heaven. Love from Tyson and Paris xx Gypsy King x"
Take a look at the post by Michael Benson:
Britain's longest-reigning monarch passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle on September 8. The entire boxing world showed their respect and offered their condolences to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Celebrities like David Beckham queued in the line outside Westminster Hall to pay their respects to the Queen as well. Fans were extremely touched by Beckham's gesture of opting to stand in line.

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua contract details revealed
The talks for a potential fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are at an advanced stage right now. Earlier this month, 'The Gypsy King' called out Joshua to fight for the WBC title and 'AJ' agreed. Talks had stopped in between out of respect for the Queen, but according to Michael Benson, the former Unified Heavyweight Champion has agreed to all the terms set by Fury.
Michael Benson reported the news on Twitter, with the contract details:
"Anthony Joshua has now accepted… Tyson Fury's initial 60/40 split offer Rematch clause, 50/50 split if AJ wins and Fury's demanded date of Dec 3rd. If no contract disputes, only issue outstanding is broadcaster. Both have said they're open to joint BT/DAZN PPV."
Latest updates indicate that Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions has already sent over the contract to 'AJ' and all that is left is for the Brit to sign it. A month after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in a row, he will look to take on the WBC Champion next.
