Fury vs Joshua could take place later this year
Promoter Eddie Hearn spoke about the peculiarities of organizing the fight of the former champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).
“We were signed for this fight before. We never got out of the negotiations, and the fight fell through due to Fury’s trial with Wilder. Let’s see. I hope everything will happen, because we agreed to the conditions.
“Maybe they think now is the right time to fight Joshua. But I don’t want to downplay the importance of this fight. I don’t want to blame anyone for anything. I want to try and make a fight. AJ says he won’t get that chance to fight Fury again. He’s ready to fight.”
Fury twice reached out to Joshua via social media and offered him a fight. Anthony accepted Fury’s offer.
Joshua also agrees to a 60/40 distribution of the fee to the reigning world champion. Boxers are considering three dates for the fight – November 26, December 3 and December 17.
Recall that Joshua was in 6th place in the updated WBC rankings. The rating allows the WBC to recognize Joshua as a voluntary challenger for Tyson Fury’s championship belt.
