The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' has extended his deadline for the contracts to be signed.
But Charr, who has been rumoured to face Fury should he fail to agree terms with Joshua, has hit out at the WBC title holder.
He's accused the unbeaten fighter of ducking him in a furious message.

Charr, 37, has won 33 of his 37 professional bouts, losing four times. He's currently on a five-fight win streak, having suffered his last defeat to Mairis Briedis in August 2015.
He hasn't fought since his victory over Nikola Milacic last May as he looks to clash with Fury for the world heavyweight title.
But Charr could miss out on a shot at world glory if Fury strikes a deal with Joshua, who's coming off a defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

The door hasn't completely closed on Fury vs. Joshua.
The 34-year-old claims negotiations are still ongoing despite claiming his rival had missed the deadline.
In a video posted on Twitter, Fury said: "Right, Anthony Joshua, where do we start? So the deadline was Monday, Frank Warren asked me and convinced me to let it carry on for another couple of days.
"Today is Thursday, even though I knew you wouldn't sign this contract I allowed Frank to continue doing meetings with your team, broadcasters and all that; now we have BT Sport, Dazn and ESPN all on the same page. They are happy with everything. They are all ready to rock and roll.

"You guys asked for a lot of stuff. You wanted to be co-promoters when you're a voluntary challenger, guess what? I said give it to them. Let them be co-promoters.
"You wanted full transparency even though you're not an equal shareholder in this party. Do you know I said? Give them full transparency. I have got nothing to hide. I'm not trying to rob anybody.
"Now you have got full transparency everything is clean and fair. Now Joshua, the ball really is in your court son. Everything really is done. If you're a man and have some dignity and pride you'll get this contract signed today. This is it. There are no more days, weeks, months.
"You have had the contract now for over two weeks and you still haven't signed it. Show the public that you are really a big coward, that I know you are and don't sign it. I don't care either way if you sign it or not, it makes no difference to me at all. You're a beaten man and I'm a world champion.

"I'm chucking you a major bone but I know I can punch your face in. There is nothing more to do, everyone is happy. Get your team onto mine, they will be available all day, like they have been for the last two weeks. Get this contract signed today, you big p***y.
"Give the British fans what they want. There is no more running, you have to fight me. You cannot escape, the Fury is coming, b***h."
