Former WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has accepted an offer from Tyson Fury to fight for the world heavyweight title on December 3, with Cardiff set to be the venue.
Joshua’s camp has publicly confirmed all terms of Fury’s deal have been accepted, with the champion previously saying the offer to fight in Cardiff on December 3 had been made.
According to Daily Mail, they claimed that communication had been halted due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and that they were waiting for a response.
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, simply replied: “Contract will be with you very soon.”
Fury recently challenged Joshua to a long-awaited all-British showdown and offered the two-time world champion a 60-40 purse, after it emerged a prospective undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk would likely have to wait until 2023.
The 34-year-old chose November 26 at Wembley or December 3 at Cardiff as potential dates for the fight
