- Eddie Hearn ‘looking at venues and dates’
- First meeting of British pair to take place in 2021
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, Britain’s world heavyweight champions, are “making great progress” towards signing for a two-fight unification fight, according to Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, news that has excited bookmakers but left more disinterested observers wondering when, where and if it will happen.
There is much wrangling to be done before the most anticipated fight in the business comes even close to fruition, although Hearn insists Joshua, who holds three versions of the title, and Fury, the unbeaten WBC champion, are already, “in agreement regarding the financial terms”. That would seem to gel with a surprise statement last week by Frank Warren that his fighter, Fury, would be willing to split the purse 50-50.
