The heavyweight blockbuster between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is on the verge of meeting an official confirmation, yet the contractual turmoils continue to push the dates further. It may raise several questions amongst the fans, as many have legitimately started to doubt the fight’s future.

However, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has constantly appeared optimistic about settling the deal. He has vowed to finish the paper works soon.

The Matchroom Director connected with The Sun and gave fans some minor updates regarding the developments of the fight.

“It’s a self-inflicted deadline from both teams that we agreed that should give us enough time to secure it. Both teams will have the options presented to them this weekend, so there will be discussions early next week,” said Eddie Hearn.

He added, “We’ll say, ‘We like that one’ or, ‘We’d like a bit more money’. All these different things are yet to be discussed. We’ll work together and say well this is the option, let’s go.”

Bringing a lifeline to the heavyweight title unification, Hearn further said, “We’re very close and we’re around the numbers which I think gets this done. I think once it’s presented, I think we’ll be fine.”

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua- The fight for the ages

In an all-English clash, Tyson Fury will defend his WBC belt, and Anthony Joshua will put his WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO titles on the line. Meanwhile, ‘The Gypsy King’ will also put his undefeated record at stake.

Amid all the hype and glory, the matchup is also important for the heavyweight division to move forward. There are currently several mandataries in Oleksandr Usyk, Joe Joyce, or Dillian Whyte who are waiting for their shot at the world titles.

So, it would demand that Fury and Joshua collide imminently. Unless they settle their feud, the division would remain stuck at a certain point.
