Anthony Joshua has accepted Tyson Fury’s bid for a boxing bout in December! Joshua’s team reported this on Twitter. Joshua’s team had previously agreed, but waited a while to announce the death of Queen Elizabeth.
There’s only one thing left to do now: Team Fury still has to deal the final blow. It seemed like a formality, as he was challenging Joshua himself. The Battle of England seems to have finally arrived! And that was on December 3rd.
Joshua Fury Update:
258 dan @MatchromeBoxing can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshuathat we accepted all the terms put to us by the Fury team for last Friday’s December 3 fight.
Due to the Queen’s death, it was agreed to stop all communications.
We are waiting for a response.

Who will broadcast it?
There are still some minor obstacles, but it concerns broadcasting rights. Fury has a contract with BT Sport in the UK and ESPN in the US, while Joshua has a worldwide contract with DAZN. Therefore, it is possible that the fight will be broadcast in several places.
60% of the proceeds went to Fury, 40% to Joshua. Fury quit as world heavyweight champion this year, but soon learned that he missed boxing a lot.
