Fury vs. Joshua: Promoters maintained that the all-British bout would happen

Following the cancellation by Tyson Fury of the most anticipated all-British fight between Fury and Joshua, as reported by Nollywood Times earlier, the promoters of the bout are confident the clash will still happen.

Recall that Fury had set a Monday 5 pm deadline for Joshua and his team to agree to terms on the December 3 fight. Joshua’s team did not meet the deadline, which caused Fury to call off the fight on his social media in a video calling Joshua names. However, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn described the deadline as ridiculous.

However, news filtering in has it that talks are ongoing between Hearn and Fury’s promoter Frank Warren behind the scenes as well as the pair’s legal teams in the hope of getting an official contract signed with the terms already being agreed.

Warren said, “We’re not that far away from December 3. We’ve got to get it up on sale. The venue’s booked, but there’s a lot of organisation involved.

“We’re working very hard to get it over the line. Tyson has told me what he wants. They’ve had the contract for 10 days, and he’s lost patience with it. We’re trying to make it work. We’re waiting for the contract to come back.”

Warren and Hearn have rarely seen eye-to-eye as rival promoters, but Hearn said on Twitter, “I agree with Frank,” referring to Warren’s comments about the ongoing talks between the two rival camps.

According to Hearn, the promoters and broadcasters are working hard to finalise Joshua and Fury’s fight and fielded several ‘positive’ phone calls on Monday.

Hearn said there had been no talk of a deadline between the two parties despite Fury claiming the British-Nigerian had until 5 pm Monday to sign the contract.
