Anthony Joshua has officially started his training camp for the much anticipated Tyson Fury fight, promoter Eddie Hearn has said.
The British pair have signed contracts to face-off, but a site deal still must be completed to determine the date/venue before the fight is finalised.
When giving an update on this, Hearn let slip that AJ’s preparations are now fully underway.
Hearn told reporters: “We can’t wait. AJ has started his training camp and Fury has been training very hard. They all want the fight.
“They are going to be presented with a few proposals on where to do the fight and everyone has to agree on where to do it.
“There is no other fight out there that comes close for either guy. July is the date…
“Really I think end of next week it will be done.
“Talks have progressed extremely well and we’re closing in on securing the venue and there will be an announcement in due course.
“We’re at the stage where it’s probably best not to say much more than that.”
