Hearn’s words come practically two weeks after Joshua’s team will supposedly accept the economic conditions of the fight ─Fury would take 60% of the agreed purse and the venue would be the Municipality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
The only obstacle would have been the owners of the television rights. While Joshua has a deal with DAZN, Fury fights under the auspices of ESPN in the US and BT Sport in the UK.
