Boxing champions, Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed to a two-fight deal billed to take place in 2021, says promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua, who holds the WBO, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles, will face his compatriot Fury, who hold as the WBC title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Fury defeated American Deontay Wilder<\/a> to win that title in February, there has been calls for a historic bout for the undisputed title, but official talks began in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fair to say [Joshua and Fury] are in agreement regarding the financial terms,\u201d Hearn, who is Joshua\u2019s promoter, told Sky Sports News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a good place. It\u2019s fair to say that, in principle, both guys have agreed to that fight. Two fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is still a lot to overcome. We are looking at venues and dates,\u201d Hearn added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30-year-old Joshua has lost only once in his professional career when he fell to a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr <\/a>in June last year, before reclaiming his titles in Saudi Arabia<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fury, 31, remains unbeaten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
