Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury is getting closer to happening.<\/p>\n

For the longest time, many thought Joshua vs. Fury was the biggest fight to make in boxing. However, after Joshua lost to Andy Ruiz Jr. and then back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk, many thought it would never happen, especially with Fury retiring.<\/p>\n

Yet, Fury’s retirement did not last long and he wanted to face Usyk, but he claimed the Ukrainian fighter was not easy to negotiate with so he turned his attention to Joshua.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still think, even though he\u2019s lost three of his last five fights… I still think that people would like to see that fight,\u201d Fury said to BT Sport. \u201cIf that [Usyk] fight doesn\u2019t happen, then we\u2019ll go and offer AJ the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, after talks between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk stalled, the Brit asked Anthony Joshua’s team and his manager tweeted that the Olympic gold medalist agreed to all of Fury’s terms to set up the fight.<\/p>\n

Joshua-Fury update: <\/p>\n

258 and @MatchroomBoxing<\/a> can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua<\/a>, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury\u2019s team for a fight Dec 3rd last Friday. <\/p>\n

Due to the Queen\u2019s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication. <\/p>\n

We are awaiting a response.<\/p>\n
