EDDIE HEARN says that December could see Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
AJ's promoter plans the biggest British boxing fight, even though Joshua must first defeat Oleksandr Usyk. The Gypsy King must also reverse his decision to retire.
Tyson Fury was seen in Cannes on May 5th, and is expected to reverse his decision to leave the ring
Hearn stated: "I believe you'll see Joshua Fury whatever happens in all honesty.
"But we hope it can be seen for the undisputed World Heavyweight Championship in December."
Joshua's rematch against Usyk, Ukraine's unified world heavyweight champion seems certain to be moved from July 23rd to mid-August at most.
Fury, who is unbeaten, has made a vow to never fight again but he has continued training.

Last month, the Mancunian stated that he was very content to be retired.
"It has been a long time coming, and I am so enjoying my retirement."
Many doubt his word, especially if a huge sum was offered to him in order to pay Joshua.
The biggest obstacle could be AJ overthrowing Usyk, who was comfortably outpointed by him last September.
Joshua, 32-year-old Watford hero, claimed defeat had "mentally killed" him.
He knows that if he targets revenge, his credibility at the top is at risk.
In an Instagram Q&A, Hearn stated that he rates Usyk, but he believes in Anthony Joshua. He also said that he believed in him and would put it right in the fight.
"The fight has been agreed upon in terms of the location, and both sides have reached an agreement.
"It's just that it took 10 days longer than what we expected.
"I don't know if we can put a date on it. All I can say is that we are finalising paperwork and that everything is in place, so be patient."
