Frank Warren breaks silence on Tyson Fury injury rumors before Joshua fight.

Frank Warren has addressed the swirling rumors that Tyson Fury may be injured ahead of his December 11 megafight with Anthony Joshua.

The long-time promoter of the Gypsy King called the claims 'absolute nonsense.'

But his denial came with a detail that has fans and analysts paying close attention.

Warren admitted he has not spoken to Fury in a week.

The rumors first surfaced when former heavyweight champion Frank Bruno appeared on the Fight Your Corner podcast with Tony Bellew.

Bruno said he was told by someone in a gym that Fury has an injury.

'I looked at him the other day and I think someone was talking to me in the gym that he's got some injury, which may stop him from going into the fight with Anthony Joshua,' Bruno said.

'And having that on your head ain't nice.'

The comment immediately spread across boxing media.

Multiple outlets picked up the story, with headlines asking whether the fight could be cancelled.

Warren was asked about the rumors at the final press conference for the Joshua Buatsi vs. Willy Hutchinson rematch.

His response was blunt.

'Nonsense, nonsense, absolute nonsense,' he told The Sun.

Warren added: 'He's doing well.'

But when pressed on when he last spoke to Fury, Warren acknowledged a gap in communication.

'I haven't spoken to him for a week,' Warren said.

The promoter said he has no plans to check in, either.

'I'll leave him alone, leave him in peace,' Warren said.

'The last time I spoke to him, he just said I wish the fight were tomorrow.

He's so up for it, he's so focused, and he wants it so badly.'

The fight is scheduled for December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

It will be streamed live on Netflix in what is being billed as the biggest all-British heavyweight clash in history.

The bout was announced in late September after years of failed negotiations.

Both fighters are currently in camp preparing for the showdown.

Fury, 38, holds a record of 36-2-1 with 25 knockouts.

He came out of retirement earlier this year to stop Mariusz Wach in Thailand.

Joshua, 36, is 30-4 with 27 knockouts.

He returned from a car accident to beat Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.

Bruno's claim has added a new layer of uncertainty to the buildup.

Tony Bellew, the former cruiserweight champion, suggested Fury may be playing mind games.

'I do think Tyson Fury is the master of the mind games,' Bellew said on the same podcast.

'He's going to be saying things.

Yeah, he's very, very good at it.

Very, very good at the mind games.'

Bruno agreed that Fury is known for his psychological tactics.

'I see him at the press conferences and he really says crazy things that get right under your skin,' Bruno said.

'Very controversial what he says, and no one's ever going to agree with everything he says, but one thing that we can all agree on is he's a world-class fighter.'

Bruno, who held the WBC heavyweight title in the 1990s, also gave his assessment of the matchup.

He said Joshua has 'a puncher's chance' against Fury.

Bellew agreed, saying Joshua can only win by knockout, not on points.

Fury's camp has not issued any official medical update.

No statements have come from Fury himself beyond his earlier comment to Warren.

The fight also features a notable undercard bout.

Deontay Wilder, who fought a trilogy with Fury, is scheduled to face Jai Opetaia.

Warren said Wilder's presence will not affect Fury's focus.

'No, it won't affect Tyson whatsoever,' Warren said.

Fury, however, has already dismissed Wilder's inclusion.

'Silly really, for Deontay's part,' Fury told Michelle Joy Phelps on Behind The Mic.

'He shouldn't be in a ring; he should be nowhere near a ring.

It's a crying shame that this man has to continue to fight when he's shot to bits.'

Fury said Wilder should not have fought again after their third meeting.

'That should have been the end of it,' Fury said.
