Joshua ready to fight Fury in December

Anthony Joshua has accepted WBC champion Tyson Fury’s terms for an all-British heavyweight fight on 3 December and is “awaiting a response”, his management company has said.

Joshua, 32, was sent an offer by Team Fury, suggesting a 60-40 purse split to the champion and a December fight date.

The fight was agreed on Friday but the announcement was delayed because of the death of the Queen last Thursday.

SPONSOR AD

Initial terms have been agreed but Joshua is yet to sign a contract.

A boxer must be ranked in the top 15 by all governing bodies to challenge for a world title.
