Negotiations on organizing a battle between Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) and Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). According to American journalist Mike Coppinger, the fight for the WBC heavyweight title could take place in September at Wembley Stadium.

“A few weeks ago, Joshua received a call from me for the fight that everyone is waiting for. Let's give this fight to fans around the world. This time I will not press and record a video, the ball is on your side, ”Fury said on social networks.

The last time representatives of the boxers discussed the contract for this fight was in the last months of last year. Financial terms were agreed, but Fury eventually withdrew from the negotiations and did not sign a contract for the fight.

In his last professional appearance, Joshua won on points against Jermain Franklin. Fury hasn't boxed since his fight with Derek Chisora ​​in December. A few weeks ago, the "Gypsy King" broke off negotiations on a unification fight with Oleksandr Usyk.
