Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to pocket £100million each when they fight in 2021 and the bulk of the deal is expected to be concluded in a few days.

AJ's promoter Eddie Hearne already has an agreement in principle Fury's team for the doubleheader with all heavyweight titles will be put on the line.

"The only problem that needs to be resolved is the TV rights issues and after that, we are all in for the fight
"Everyone is completely in on the finances — 50-50 first fight, 60-40 to the winner, two fights.
"There is no reason we cannot complete the deal in a couple of days and then move on and solve the other problems."

Joshua recently knocked out IBF mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round of their fight to retain his IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO titles.

The first fight with Fury will be in the Middle East and the rematch will made available for fans in the United Kingdom.

What could pose as a hindrance to the fight is the legal dispute between Fury's rematch with Deontay Wilder which they believe is now invalid.

On the other hand, the broadcasting rights could also be a problem as Joshua is signed to Sky and DAZN, while Fury is with BT and ESPN.

Meanwhile, the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has vowed to knock his countryman Anthony Joshua out in the third round.

The 32-year-old made the comments in a short clip posted on his official Twitter page after watching his fellow Briton beat Bulgarian opposition Kubrat Pulev at the O2 Arena.
