JAKARTA - Management firm 258MGT announced via Twitter on behalf of Anthony Joshua that it accepts the requirements to fight against Tyson Fury on December 3.
Joshua-Fury update: 258 and @MatchroomBoxing can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight Dec 3rd last Friday. Due to the Queen’s passing, it was agreed to halt all communication. We are awaiting a response.

Negotiations were postponed due to Queen Elizabeth II's death, but promoter Fury, Frank Warren, has replied to a 258MGT tweet.
"The contract will be with you, son," Warren wrote.
Meanwhile, Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn announced that the offer would be accepted and there are three possible dates and places for the fight: December 17 at the Principality Stadium at Cardiff, November 26 at Wembley Stadium in London and December 3, as well as at the Principality Stadium.
Fury reportedly ordered Old Trafford for November 12, but Joshua's team thought the fight would be too early on that date.
The first responds to this claim by stating that he was only willing to agree on two: November 26 at Wembley or December 3 at Cardiff, ruled out December 17.
Now Joshua has given the go-ahead by accepting Fury's offer. Meanwhile, Oleksandr Usyk's decision, after defending his belt (WBA, WBO, IBF) against Joshua, to not get in the ring for the remainder of 2022, has delayed a potential heavyweight unification fight between Ukrainian boxers and Fury.
