The contract for Fury vs. Joshua is “almost there,” but time is running out

Posted at: September 23, 2022

Fury vs. Joshua: A contract for the all-British super fight is being worked on “positively” by Tyson Fury’s and Anthony Joshua’s agents.

However, if the fight between the two heavyweight rivals in December is to go down, time is of importance. No timeframe has been established for the sides to come to an agreement, but if a fight of this scale is to be scheduled for December, it must be verified quickly.

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.”

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

“There’s no ifs, buts or maybes, Tyson’s fighting the end of this year. Timetable-wise, timescale-wise, for both fighters it looks like it could work. As I say we’re talking, everything’s very amicable, everything’s going okay so far and fingers crossed we get some good news for British fight fans very soon.”

“[The contract] wasn’t really as we expected, but that was a few days ago and we’ve had some positive conversations. Reshaping that slightly, which seems to be positive.”

“We’ve still got a long way to go. Obviously, the broadcasters have got to have their discussion. There’s not a lot more to tell you other than both teams are doing everything they can to try and find a way to make it happen, within the timeframe,” Hearn said.

“We have to move quickly because it worries me that Mahmoud Charr is coming out, saying he is fighting Tyson Fury on December 3, but again, all I’m being told at the moment is they want to make the fight. If they do, we’re ready to try and make it happen.”
