According to Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have agreed to meet in two blockbuster fights.
Hearn who has been in negotiations with Fury’s camp for several weeks said that the terms were in place for the British world heavyweight champions to go head to head.
No contracts have been signed yet, but Hearn expects WBA, IBF and WBO belt holder, Anthony Joshua to face WBC champion Fury to determine the undisputed king of the heavyweight scene in 2021.
“We’re making great progress. There is still a lot to overcome. We are looking at venues and dates,” Hearn said.
“We’re in a good place,” he added.
“It’s fair to say that, in principle, both guys have agreed to that fight. Two fights. (There’s) a lot to overcome in the meantime. We’re moving in the right direction. I’m confident that both guys have given their blessings for the fight to go ahead.”
Hearn said the first bout could happen in the summer of 2021. Joshua is due to fight Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev next, while Fury has a rematch due with American Deontay Wilder.
