Fury vs Joshua contract ‘nearly there’ but time is running out

The representatives of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are working “positively” on a contract for the all-British super-fight.

But time is of the essence if it is to be finalised for the rival heavyweights to box in December.

George Warren, of Queensberry, the UK promoters of Tyson Fury, told Sky Sports, “We’re still talking. Everything at the moment is very amicable. We’re having fresh conversations this week. We’re hoping that we’re going to move forward. We’re all working hard to make it happen.”

No deadline has been set for the parties to reach an agreement but realistically it must be confirmed soon if a fight of this magnitude is to be made for December.

“Just a bit longer, I’m not going to put a timeline on it. We need realistically to know what we’re doing, what Tyson’s doing,” Warren said.
