Tyson Fury wants different fight date to Anthony Joshua with official offer sent today

Tyson Fury will send an official fight proposal offer to Anthony Joshua's camp today, Frank Warren has told talkSPORT. It comes after Fury stated that he was looking for an opponent before calling out AJ on social media on Monday.

Joshua responded later that night, accepting Fury's challenge with a view to fighting in Dcember, with both of the fighters' promoters now admitting that they are looking to make the titanic clash happen.

In the latest development, Fury's UK promoter Warren has admitted that they are looking to make the fight happen domestically in November, with a proposal to be sent to Joshua's representatives on Tuesday.

"We’re sending a written offer across today to them. My son George spoke with Eddie Hearn yesterday. It’s us who have made the approach to give AJ a great opportunity to get himself back into the top level against the world champion Tyson.

"He’s willing to make that voluntary defence, so we’ll send the offer across today and then they’ll have to look at it and decide whether they wanna grab this with both hands."

When asked when the fight could be, Warren said: "In the UK and hopefully in November, that’s what we’re looking at.” He added that the terms that they will send Joshua are 'very, very fair'.

He said: "Tyson is being extremely fair and if and when these come out, if they wanna publicise them, you’ll all be shocked.

"It’s perfect timing I think for AJ to accept it. For him to get himself back into a position either mandatory or to challenge for a world title is gonna take him a lot of time, so he should grab this with both hands in my opinion.

"But to his credit he has come out saying that he’s up for it. I’m not bad-mouthing them or the other side, all we’re interested in doing is making this fight."
