Tyson Fury will fight former WBA 'regular' heavyweight champion Mahmoud Charr on December 3 in Cardiff if Anthony Joshua hasn't signed a fight deal by 5pm.
The world heavyweight champion has set Joshua a firm deadline to sign a contract for the pair to make the biggest fight in British boxing history, which Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has branded as impossible due to legal hold-ups. The initial deal was set out as a non-negotiable 60-40 split with the date coming two weeks prior to when the former champion would have preferred.
And after slight alterations were needed to be made to the deal, the contract is currently being looked over by lawyers. The nature of the legal necessities in signing such a big money deal, which makes it very difficult to have done in time for this evening's deadline.
