Tide has definitely turned on Fury judging by comments on social media.
I suspect he would have got away with just some criticism if he'd announced a weak fight. He could sell it as a keep busy before Undisputed and remind everyone of his last two opponents being forced and mandated respectively.
But this Joshua stuff has backfired. It looks like he tried to deflect from taking the weak fight by calling out Joshua and then running when he answered the call. Whether that's true or not, it's what it looks like.
