Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua 'agreed', says Bob Arum

The much-anticipated bout between Fury and Joshua has been in the works since Joshua beat Kubrat Pulev in December but Fury’s promoter Bob Arum says “all the points” have now been agreed. While speaking to iFL TV on Wednesday, Bob Arum revealed that there are "no more issues" regarding the heavyweight super-fight. The 89-year-old said, "(It’s done) as far as I am concerned. All the points have been agreed to, that's what both sides have said. As far as I'm concerned, I've been working on it and all of the points have been agreed to."

Joshua produced a stunning win to end 2020 as IBF, WBA and WBO champion by beating Kubrat Pulev at Wembley Arena in brutal fashion. The 31-year-old then welcomed a fight with Fury in the aftermath of his dominant victory and the first part of 2021 has seen much speculation about when it might take place. The Gypsy King, meanwhile, claimed his own remarkable win in February 2020 against Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC title and is now ready to take on his British counterpart.
