The Top Rank Boxing chief told The Daily Mirror: “We’re nearly there.

“As far as I can ascertain, there are no issues separating the two sides. There has been consensus agreement in all issues.

The news that Joshua vs Fury could take place in July is a huge boost for UK sports fans, who, from June 21 onwards, won’t be restricted from filling stadiums and arenas.

Arum’s update on the potential date for the fight comes a few days after he revealed the fine details of the £200million bout had been ironed out.

He told iFL TV: “Yeah as far as I am concerned. I’ve been working on it; all the points have been agreed to.

“That’s what each side has said. Now, we are scrambling around to get the thing signed and everything.

“But I can say clearly, based on my view on everything, that there are no more issues.”

“UK stand up. And to the world – we’re bringing it.

“I can’t wait. Undisputed.”

SunSport understands an announcement for the blockbuster showdown is set to be made later this month.

A non-disclosure agreement has restricted both parties from discussing the fine details of the deal, much to the disappointment of many.
