Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, announced on Wednesday, June 10 local time that all the terms of the fight had been agreed. The first match will take place in 2021 provided Fury can beat Deontay Wilder first in their third meeting.
This news was confirmed by Fury on social media. it also sets the length of time when the opening bout will take place.
"We are making great progress, it is fair to say that in principle these two have accepted this fight, two fights," Hearn explained in an interview with Sky Sports.
"First of all, the fight could happen next summer, that means 2021.
"The headlines are very positive, although much remains to be done."
Joshua is on track for a comeback after regaining his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight championship titles in a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr in December.
