Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, replied to the tweet: “Contract will be with you very soon.”
After two consecutive losses to Ukrainian heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk, along with his status as a champion, Joshua will be feeling as though he has something to prove after entering this week’s WBC rankings at No 6.
Meanwhile, Fury beat his last two opponents, Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte, before opting to retire. However, he informed the WBC at the end of last month that he would resume his career.
