Anthony Joshua has agreed to terms to challenge WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on Dec. 3, with the fight expected to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
Joshua’s management company 258 said in a post on Twitter: “258 and Matchroom Boxing can confirm, on behalf of Anthony Joshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight Dec. 3 last Friday.
Joshua has accepted a 40-60% deal, but negotiations have been put on hold due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II last Thursday.
Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, has since replied: “Contract will be with you very soon.”
