Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua can still walk away from fight on two conditions

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could both still walk away from their fight on two conditions.

The Brits have put pen to paper on a lucrative heavyweight unifying bout for this year, entering the ring on two occasions.

It is a fight that has been eagerly anticipated since the Gypsy King took the WBC belt from Deontay Wilder last February.

But Daily Star Sport understands that there are still two conditions that could see the fighters walk if they are not fulfilled.

While the contracts have been signed, this has been seen as a formality by both parties – and the stage is sorting both a venue and fees.

And if either boxer is unhappy with the choice of location or the money they take home, they still have the option to walk away.

But promoter Eddie Hearn has suggested that the venue is likely to be resolved soon.

He said last week: “We need the venue in place in the next 30 days. The next 28 days is the thought process of both teams.

“If we are going to deliver this fight late June, early July at the latest, we need to get that moving.

"Ultimately everyone is going to go now and look for the biggest site fee as a team and then present it to the fighters.

“It is the the Middle East, Asia and America. We will present the UK option but it is impossible to move with security [because of Covid-19].

“There have been some obscure offers. We have to look at, I'll tell you one day.
