The two British fighters have been in negotiations for months over the fight that is set to unify the world’s heavyweight division.
Those negotiations had been detailed, with issues such as whose name appeared first on the billing and who would walk to the ring first holding up an agreement.
A final, formal announcement of the showdown is still awaited, but Bob Arum has confirmed it is a case of when, and no longer if.
‘As far as I’m concerned, all the points have been agreed to,’ the 89-year-old told IFL TV.
‘That’s what each side has said. Now, we’re just scrambling around to get things signed.
‘I can say clearly, based on my view of everything, there are no more issues.’
It appears the fight is set to take place in June, although a venue still has yet to be agreed.

With social distancing limits in the UK set to be lifted on June 21, there is scope for a full UK crowd at the fight – however football’s European Championship finals mean Wembley is unavailable.
‘June should be the date,’ Joshua confirmed earlier this week.
‘Trust me. For the fans, for the people that have been calling it on for many, many months.
‘Shoutout to Fury and his team as well; hungry go-getters, that’s what we are.’
