According to promoter Eddie Hearn, Britain’s world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has not delivered a contract to Anthony Joshua in preparation for a September showdown.
Fury, 34, stated on Friday that he would like to face Joshua at Wembley Stadium later this year and had already sent a contract.
“[Fury’s team has] reached out, but no contract has been sent,” said Hearn.
“We’re negotiating a fight with [ex-heavyweight champion] Deontay Wilder [in December] and a fight in August. We are not willing to alter those plans.”

Speaking on IFL TV, Joshua’s promoter, Hearn added: “If our plans don’t come to fruition, we would of course be open to discussing a fight with Tyson Fury. The Tyson Fury fight is a fight Anthony Joshua wants.
“The good news is we’re talking. We’ll see what happens.”
