Todd duBoef, the president of Top Rank, dealing with the affairs of Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), is against any suggestion of an immediate meeting for the unification of all heavyweight titles with Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs). DuBoef recalls that at the moment both fighters have other scheduled fights - the Fury has meeting with  Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), and Joshua - with Kubrat Pulev (24-1, 18 KOs).

"Personally, I didn't talk about it with anybody, and I do not plan to do that," duBoef said in an interview with Sky Sports. "I am currently working with Wilder's people on possible dates and places in late summer or early autumn. We also talk about the potential locations."

"Can Fury vs Wilder be canceled? I am not authorized to make such statements, but I have not heard that Wilder wanted to give up this fight. None of us spoke about it. Under the contract, now we have to fight Wilder. Joshua also has contractual obligations. In this situation, there're a lot of questions about Fury vs Joshua," the colleague of Bob Arum said. "We have obligations to Wilder's team, and we are focused on them. While there is no certainty in these two fights, so why should we talk about the third? So far, there are no preconditions for the fight Fury vs Joshua."
