“There’s no reason why we can’t put that deal in place now for the winner of those two fights.”
Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed he is"ready to conclude a deal" for an all-British showdown between his fighter and Tyson Fury in December to determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Clamour for a bout between the pair has been building but Joshua will first take on IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev of Bulgaria on June 20 while Fury is likely to settle a contractual obligation to face Wilder again the following month. Hearn told the Press Association:"Myself and Bob Arum have been talking to a point where we're ready to conclude a deal and try to move forward to get that deal done for December.He added:"We've just got to iron out some basic things like broadcasters and where the fight is going to take place. But I believe there's a real desire from both sides to get that fight done now. December would be perfect.
The Principality Stadium in Cardiff, as well as Las Vegas and Saudi Arabia, remain the front-runners to stage the fight.
