Anthony Joshua must sign his contract to face Tyson Fury by next week to ensure the fight takes place.
Fury and Joshua have been rivals for several years but a meeting has yet to materialise after an undisputed fight collapsed last year. However an all-British showdown is edging closer after Fury offered Joshua the chance to challenge for the WBC heavyweight title following his second consecutive defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.
'AJ ' accepted the offer and has now received the contract from his rival's team, which promoter Eddie Hearn is negotiating before it is signed off to seal the deal. But Fury's promoter George Warren has revealed it is just minor details to be refined including tickets, hotel rooms and the broadcast situation.
