Negotiations for the heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in Wembley have advanced one step further.
There are now a lot of rumors about Tyson and other heavyweights fighting, but this time, according to reports from both boxers’ camps, discussions with Anthony Joshua appear to be moving along quickly.
‼️ George Warren has now clarified that they've sent a "formal offer" to Anthony Joshua's team for the Tyson Fury fight in September, not a draft contract. He said it's the exact same terms AJ accepted last year – 60/40 split, with 50/50 rematch clause if AJ wins. [@Queensberry] pic.twitter.com/zccwmzhyWU

Last year Fury’s side also reached out with a deal that didn’t work out. Through Queensbury Promotions, George said this time they want to proceed the way Joshua’s side demanded the terms in 2022 which is a 60/40 purse split.
“Tyson wants it to happen, so do we, and I hope they do too. It’s exactly the same deal, exactly the same terms. We’ve got enough time hopefully this time to get it done if they want to do it.” George added.
The Gypsy King on facing AJ
Fury was fairly adamant that he will never fight Joshua as a result of how last year’s fight discussions with Joshua’s side collapsed. ‘‘The Gypsy King’ is ready to take on even Anthony at this point, as Fury is frantically attempting to book a bout for this summer.

However, the WBC heavyweight champion appeared to have changed his mind in his most recent Instagram post after struggling to get a suitable opponent.
“A few days ago I sent a draft contract to Anthony Joshua for a fight in September at Wembley. Come on AJ let’s give the world what they want to see. The ball is now on your side.” Fury wrote.
