Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have successfully racked up titles one after the other and solidified themselves as two of the most successful champions in the history of the sport but will take it one step further this summer as one of them will emerge as the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since 1999.

The two will engage in a £200 million mega-bout in the Middle East after coming to agreement with each other’s financial terms, where the fighters will earn 50 percent of the earnings each, with the winner going to earn 60 percent of earnings from the Cardiff rematch towards the end of 2021.

Fury previously had doubts about the fight due to his recent inactivity, having been away from the sport for more than a year since he beat Deontay Wilder.
