Eddie Hearn: "Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury agree to two fights"

Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed British world heavyweight champions Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed to a two-fight deal. The talks about the fight began in May. The 30-year-old holds the WBA, IBF and WBO belts. Fury, 31, meanwhile, is the WBC champion. "We're making great progress," Hearn told Sky Sports. "There is still a lot to overcome. We are looking at venues and dates. We've been talking to MTK, giving them the assurances from Joshua's side that all the details on the structure of the deal is approved from our side. And it is from Fury's side, as well. We're in a good place. It's fair to say that, in principle, both guys have agreed to that fight. Two fights." Dillian Whyte is due to face the WBC heavyweight champion Fury before any fights with Joshua, as the mandatory challenger. Source: BBC
