Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua felt he 'may never get the chance again' as an agreement to fight Anthony Joshua edges closer to an official announcement.
Joshua is reported to have agreed to a 60:40 purse split in favour of Fury, with a fight taking place on December 3rd in Cardiff's Pricipality Stadium. Joshua also entered the WBC rankings in sixth earlier in the week, paving the way for the fight to take place against the reigning WBC Champion.
After a year where it appeared the pair's careers had taken differing routes, the news that a fight has been agreed will be a surprise to some. This is what seems to have fuelled Joshua's desire to take a fight on December 3rd, having previously wanted a December 17th date as the chance may not come around again for the highly-anticipated fight to take place.
