Eddie Hearn has declared that he cannot envisage a scenario in which Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury does not happen next.
AJ’s promoter and Fury’s US co-promoter Bob Arum started exchanging contracts last week and the hope is that they will have a signed version by the end of the month.

Hearn told the Boxing News Podcast: “There will be some [minor issues] when you go down to the changing rooms and that.
“But that’s stuff that you work through to resolve it.
“When you talk about Deontay Wilder vs Joshua [negotiations], we never even had a draft contact.
“With this it’s – all the points have been discussed, the contract’s been drafted, it’s been received, it’s going backwards and forwards with minor points.
“I actually don’t see any way this fight falls apart.

“Subject to the world just falling on its a***, which can happen!
“But we have no Plan B, which is quite unusual.
“Normally you’d go, ‘If this don’t go through, we’ll take this fight or we’ll do that.’
“We are just like, ‘This is happening.’
“And he is in exactly the same boat.
“Fury ain’t looking at any other fight, nor are Top Rank and we’re not either.”
