Eddie Hearn has revealed talks are growing quickly on a deal for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury. The Matchroom promoter has held positive discussions with Fury's promoter Bob Arum. "We all acknowledge this is the biggest fight in boxing, this is the best fight for both guys," Hearn said, according to the Sun. "This is for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. Why are you in the sport, if you don't want this fight?" Asked if there were any sticking points for what would be the biggest fight in years, Hearn was dismissive of potential problems ahead. "Just trying to solve any remaining issues of the fight, of which there aren't many, to be honest with you," he added. "We're trying to move forward collectively to let the governing bodies know we plan to stage this fight probably in May and would like this to be for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. There's a few small issues to iron out but I think we can start looking at drawing up contracts and try to get this moving." One of the issues that need sorting is the broadcasting arrangement for the fight, Joshua is signed to Sky and DAZN, while Fury is with BT and ESPN.
