(AFP file photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Broadcasting News Corporation : The all-British heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could finally be on. Joshua\u2019s management team said in a post on Twitter on Tuesday that its fighter has accepted the terms presented by Fury for a bout on Dec. 3. That was made known to Fury\u2019s team on Friday, the 258MGT group said, before both parties agreed to halt communication following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday. \u201cWe are awaiting a response,\u201d posted the management team, which said it was speaking on behalf of Joshua along with the fighter\u2019s promoter, Matchroom. In a video on social media last week, Fury \u2014 the WBC champion \u2014 said he was willing to offer Joshua 40 percent of the purse for a title fight before the end of the year. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have any excuses now not to take it,\u201d Fury said. \u201cHe can\u2019t say I\u2019ve low-balled him and offered him 20 or 30 percent. I\u2019ve offered (his) people 40 percent \u2014 take it or leave it.\u201d Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, said he would be interested in making the fight if Fury\u2019s offer was serious. The unbeaten Fury appears to have gone back on his decision to retire in the wake of beating another British fighter, Dillian Whyte, in front of around 90,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in April. Fury\u2019s hopes of landing a fight with Oleksandr Usyk, who retained the WBA, WBO and IBF belts by beating Joshua in Saudi Arabia last month, were dashed when the Ukrainian said he did not intend to fight again this year. Fury turned his sights on Joshua, who said after the Usyk fight that he intended to work his way back up to being a three-time champion \u2014 potentially facing opponents in the second tier of the heavyweight division \u2014 after losing three of his last five bouts. What would have been a fight to be undisputed champion between Joshua and Fury was close to being arranged last year, only for an arbitrator in the United States to rule that Fury was contractually bound to fulfil a third fight with Deontay Wilder. Joshua, who was heavyweight champion at the time, then decided to fight Usyk and lost to the Ukrainian in London.
