Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight date to be confirmed as one of two options


Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have just two potential dates left as the duo agree to fight for the undisputed world heavyweight title this summer. Joshua the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight champion is set to face Fury, who will offer his WBC belt up for grabs following his win over Deontay Wilder in February of 2020. According to The Mirror, the fight will take place on either June 26 or July 3, with Saudi Arabia the favourite to host the potential £200million showdown. Bob Arum said: “We’re nearly there. As far as I can ascertain, there are no issues separating the two sides. There has been consensus agreement in all issues. We hope very shortly that the fight will be signed. Then we will pick the site and we’ll be up and running. I’m looking towards late June or early July for the actual fight to take place.” The report adds that the hosts are willing to offer Joshua and Fury £72m each to agree to the deal. The victor will be the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999.
