Boxing undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua’s fight against World Boxing Council champion, ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury is in the final state of completion.
According to the promoter, Eddie Hearn, the much anticipated fight tagged ‘Battle of Britain’, that clash is a foregone conclusion in the sense that both parties have already held talks on possible venues for the fights and only case of “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s” remain.
“The bulk is done, the financial elements of the deal. There is always stuff that is out of our control, ie the fighters winning their next fights.
“[Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum and I] had a good chat [on Thursday]. We’re getting along alright.
“We have our words backwards and forwards but we both want to make the biggest fight of all time. He’s made many of them in the past and I want to make one that goes down in history as well,” Hearn said on Sky Sports.
Speaking further, Hearn, who double as Joshua’s promoter said the clash estimated to worth £150million will happen next year because the deal has been finalised with nothing left to cover.
“We’re all moving forwards. We talked about the site, the other elements of the deal and we agreed to move forwards by papering this.
“Dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. Get this boxed in for 2021,” he added.
Both boxers have fights lined up before they clash with Fury trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder and Joshua defending his WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts against Kubrat Pulev.
