Anthony Joshua is one step closer to fighting Tyson Fury

Fury was due to fight Wilder, 34, in the third and final fight of their trilogy on December 19 in Las Vegas.

But Wilder’s contractual right is set to expire, allowing Fury and Joshua, 30, to finally meet – with a Wembley 2021 date on the cards.

In March, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed his star and Fury had agreed to a 50-50 purse split for their mega-money fight.

And, now Wilder is out of the way, Joshua just needs to dispatch mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev on December 12 to tee-up the biggest fight in British boxing history.

Last week, Fury revealed he was sick and tired of waiting for Wilder and his team to agree to their third instalment.
