Tyson Fury’s team will send an official written offer TODAY to fight Anthony Joshua

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, by stating on TalkSport: ‘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. 

Hearn told TalkSport: ‘I said to George Warren last night, ‘Get the details over to us, get the offer over to us. I will take it to AJ, he’s ready to go.’

‘We didn’t expect this opportunity, but it’s a great opportunity to fight for the world heavyweight title in the biggest fight in boxing.

‘And we will definitely look at it.’

Fury and Joshua were set to do battle last year after agreeing 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.

Hearn remains skeptical about whether or not the ‘Gypsy King’ is serious about the fight, having also challenged both Usyk and Derek Chisora in recent weeks.

‘I’d love to get really excited about this because I think it’s the fight I get stopped on the street for more than any fight that could be made.

‘It’s a fight AJ has wanted for a long time. Don’t forget we signed for this fight last year before the court arbitration forced the Deontay Wilder fight for Tyson Fury.

‘It’s an interesting one because last week he retired, then he’d only come back to fight Usyk, then he made an offer to Derek Chisora, then he wanted half a billion, then he retired again, then he’s fighting Usyk in December and now he’s fighting AJ.

‘The message is quite clear from AJ: we don’t want to get in a backwards and forwards, we want the fight.’

Joshua has lost back-to-back fights to Oleksandr Usyk, the most recent being in Saudi Arabia last month.

But the Watford-born fighter is keen to take a gamble on his career by rushing back into the ring to face British rival Fury. 

Hearn said: ‘It’s the fight he’s wanted for a long time.

‘We had plans after the Usyk defeat to come back in December and then go again in March, get active and get the rhythm going again and then try fight for the world heavyweight title.

‘But I know having spoken to AJ and as you saw with his message that if that fight is there and they’re serious, which I have my doubts [about].

‘But listen, let’s for the good of trying to make it happen let’s believe Tyson Fury.’

Fury hit back at Hearn comments by tweeting: ‘This is easy fight to make normal champion to challenger privileges, & I’m 100% serious

‘Let’s rumble UK.’

Unless the rich Middle East nations come up with another mega-money offer the only feasible venue for a midwinter blockbuster is Cardiff’s Principality Stadium with its retractable roof.
