Arum: On Tuesday we will get contracts for Fury vs Joshua fight

Tyson Fury's (30-0-1, 21 KOs) promoter Bob Arum told talkSPORT that contracts for his boxer's fight against Anthony Joshua (24-1, 21 KOs) should be signed soon.

“I spoke to Eddie [Hearn] yesterday and they have to send us the first draft contracts on Tuesday,” said the head of the Top Rank promotion. "Then I'll send it to Frank [Warren], Tyson and the lawyers."

“Then we send the contracts back to Eddie with our comments. I think everything will go smoothly, because we are all professionals and we want this fight to take place. I think that soon we will be able to agree on everything and choose a place together,” said Arum, adding that the preparation of the final version of the contracts could take about two weeks.

At stake in Fury's fight against Joshua should be four heavyweight championship belts. It is reported that the first of a series of two battles could take place in May or June.
