[TalkGlitz] September 6 – Frank Warren has hit back at Eddie Hearn by declaring that they will be sending an official written offer across to Anthony Joshua today for the Tyson Fury fight in the UK in November.
WBC heavyweight champion Fury handed Joshua a shock world title lifeline on Monday, challenging him to a December Battle of Britain.
Joshua has since publicly accepted the offer, which prompted his promoter Hearn to speak to Fury’s representatives, Frank Warren and his son George last night to get the ball rolling on a potential fight.
To which, Frank himself has responded: ‘The terms we are gonna put forward I think are very, very fair. Tyson is being extremely fair.’
His comments came in response to Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn revealing that he has opened talks with Warren over a potential heavyweight showdown fight.
Fury and Joshua were set to do battle last year after agreeing on a two-fight deal in March 2020.

Deontay Wilder, however, scuppered the undisputed bout when he won his arbitration for a trilogy fight with Fury.
The message is quite clear from AJ: ‘we don’t want to get in a backward and forward, we want the fight.’
Joshua has lost back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk, the most recent being in Saudi Arabia last month.
