Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, says the British former heavyweight boxing champion has instructed him to arrange a bout with fellow Brit former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
He added that a yet to be determined date in November this year was on the cards for a very anticipated bout between Joshua and Fury.
Fury recently returned to the ring after a 15 month retirement to beat Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov via a unanimous decision win.
The Gypsy King went on to call out Joshua, who watched the fight at ringside, for a fight and Joshua stated his readiness. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
Speaking with reporters, Eddie Hearn revealed that his camp is negotiating with boxer power player Turki Alalshikh for two fights this year including one in November.
“My instructions from AJ-Anthony Joshua- is to make the fight [with Tyson Fury]. A little bit about who he-Joshua- fights in July, when he fights, where the fight’s going to be.”
“Still things to negotiate but I wouldn’t say ‘sticking points. We expect to be out in July and then fight Fury in November.”
