Tyson Fury has confirmed that negotiations with Anthony Joshua for a highly-anticipated boxing match in the UK are back on.
The bout, which is set to take place at Wembley Stadium in September, was previously called off due to delays in contract signing.
Fury expressed his eagerness for the fight and called on Joshua to give the world the showdown they want to see.

Joshua is yet to respond to Fury’s message. Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, who represents Joshua, will need to engage in extensive negotiations with Fury’s team to settle on a purse split between the two fighters. Fury had previously proposed a 60/40 split agreement to Joshua.
Despite Joshua’s camp targeting an August date for his next fight, the opportunity of a matchup with Fury might take precedence.
For Joshua, reaching a deal with Fury could be his final chance at reclaiming his world heavyweight titles after his recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
