Tyson Fury has confirmed he's back in talks with Anthony Joshua for a blockbuster showdown in September in the UK.
The bout would take place at Wembley Stadium after previous collapsed discussions over a clash late last year, after the Gypsy King grew impatient waiting for AJ to sign the contract.
Negotiations over the highly-anticipated bout had been ongoing for months before both parties declared the fight - which was scheduled to take place on December 3, 2022 - was officially off the cards.
Joshua is represented by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing and negotiating a title fight with Fury could require renewed extensive negotiations as both parties attempt to settle on a purse split between the two contenders.
Fury reportedly sent a 60/40 split agreement to Joshua as recently as September at a time when Hearn confirmed that discussions to make the fight happen were ongoing.
The heavyweight world champion's stated intent to resurrect a fight with Joshua might be too late, however. Joshua's camp revealed on Thursday that they were targeting an August date for his next appearance.
