Challenges to overcome
The two Britons have big challenges ahead and have to beat some very capable men before it happens, but the money and interest involved means it is almost certain to occur in 2021.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said there is still a number of obstacles to overcome before they square off inside the ring. "The hardest part is to agree to the financial element of the deal,” Hearn told ESPN.
“We have agreed with Tyson Fury and the team, and we can now move forward with finalizing the smaller parts of the deal. The good news for fight fans is that we have agreed to do the two fights and we can now go and dot the I's and cross the T's.
"They also have fights in between to make and get through, and that's another issue.”
When is Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight?

Where will Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua take place?
The fight would ideally take place in Britain, with Wembley's 90,000 capacity Stadium an option. Saudi Arabia is another option due to the high one-off site fee authorities would pay to host the fight.
