Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury finally sign their £200m two-fight contract making it the the biggest British fight of all time

Posted: 18 Mar 2021 09:00 AM PDT

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have finally signed a lucrative two-fight deal for the biggest clash in British boxing history for the undisputed heavyweight title.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed to Sportsmail that all the paperwork has been completed, exchanged, and signed for two mega-fights, with the first scheduled for this summer.

A date and venue is expected to be finalised in the next three weeks to a month, with late June or early July the prime options for the opening showdown.

Hearn told Sportsmail: 'All sides have now put pen to paper on what will be the biggest fight in boxing.

'We will now collectively look at the best site deal. We have had a lot of offers and now we will go over the details and see what works the best for this historic fight.

'The agreement is for two fights and getting the names on contracts is a huge step. We will hopefully be in a position to confirm details on where and when in the next month.'

The split for the first fight will be an even 50-50, with the winner going on to command 40-40 of the purse for the rematch. Each fighter will be looking to become the first to hold the undisputed crown since Lennox Lewis.

Hearn and Fury's camp, led by Bob Arum and Frank Warren, have reportedly received lucrative site proposals from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the US, and Australia, among others for the locations.

The money-spinning two-fight deal will eclipse Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao as the most lucrative bout in the sport's history. Both Joshua, 31, and Fury, 32, are set to earn £100million each as part of the eye-watering purse.

Hearn revealed the break-through on Monday when he exclaimed 'the hard bit is now over the line' giving fans the excuse to now get excited about the fight finally coming to fruition.

'We'd like to get a site deal confirmed in the next month,' Hearn added.

'We've already had approaches from eight or nine sites. The offers have come from multiple countries in the Middle East, from Asia, Eastern Europe, and America.'

'The hard part is always getting everybody to put pen to paper but this was a major effort from all parties to get this over the line.

'You had rival promoters, rival networks and rival fighters.

'I actually feel we've done the hard part. Speaking for myself, Anthony and his team at 258 management, I know how hard we've worked hard these last couple of months and I just feel that this fight is so big it's not a difficult sell.'

Hearn added: 'This is the biggest fight in boxing and one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

'It will be a major, major win for a country that wants to showcase itself.'

I lost a dear friend, I almost lost my life and my freedom for something I had no hand in. I know I owe my fans my own side of the story and same is contained in the attached reports.

I want to thank the entire Ghana police force for their professionalism and diligence . The hurtful comments,assumptions and allegations made against me was nothing compared to having to mourn the tragic death of my friend and at the same time been accused of been involved in his death. But for the enormous support from my friends, family and even strangers who supported me without prejudice and proclaimed my innocence were the ones who gave me hope, oh my Ghanaian brother's and sisters! This is my first visit to an amazing country filled with lovely people I have gotten the biggest support from. To my family!! I can't thank you enough! my legal team( Tope Salami and Jerry), Lewis, Martin, Olu, ike, my Aunty Tosin , the list long o!!! ♥️

Wizkid and Asa Link Up After Six Years After Collaboration Snub

Posted: 18 Mar 2021 02:30 AM PDT

Nigerian afrobeats superstar, Wizkid, may eventually get to collaborate with Asa six years after his initial interest in having the sonorous songstress on a track.

A video of Wizkid and Asa has made its way online with both musicians looking happy and in one accord. The video was said to have been taken hours after the 'Ojuelegbe' crooner won the coveted Grammy Award.

The video sighted by Within Nigeria confirmed that Wizkid and Asa have no bad blood despite the snub he suffered from the 'Jailer' singer in 2015 following his collaboration request.

In Wizkid's 2015 tweet, he shared; 'Yo Asa has to be the only one I want to work with so bad! Love love her', but Asa didn't acknowledge the tweet. Instead, she promoted the video for one of her songs, 'Satan Be Gone'. 'Satan Be Gone… new video out tomorrow', she wrote.

Asa's response caused rancour in the Nigerian social media space. Many thought she was describing Wizkid as Satan that should be banished.

However, this latest event has changed that, as Wizkid may eventually get the collaboration he has been longing for. The song will also be a good follow-up to his Grammy win over the weekend, provided they get to do a song together.

On Sunday, March 14, 2021, Wizkid was pronounced winner of the most sought-after award, Grammy, for his impressive collaboration with Beyonce on a global hit track, 'Brown Skin Girl'.
