Anthony Joshua’s undisputed world title fight against Tyson Fury “will happen”, according to promoter Eddie Hearn who said he will do “everything it takes” to agree a deal.
Britain’s heavyweight rivals hold all the world boxing titles after Fury claimed the WBC belt with a stoppage win over Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas at the weekend.
Joshua regained his WBA ‘super’, IBF and WBO belts in a rematch victory over Andy Ruiz Jr in December.
Hearn revealed how he spoke to Joshua on Sunday to discuss him fighting Fury next, despite ongoing talks for an IBF mandatory title defence against Kubrat Pulev at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.
And the Matchroom Boxing boss has promised to thrash out terms for a blockbuster British battle.
Advertisement Hearn told Sky Sports News: “He’s promoted by Bob Arum predominantly. Frank Warren is also involved, MTK are his management company. I’ve spoken to Top Rank and I’ve spoken to MTK straight after the fight.
“Everybody is very clear on this. Everybody wants this fight – Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, MTK, Top Rank, Frank Warren, Matchroom.
