A venue has been booked for the potential fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as a date and potential earnings have been revealed.

Fury and Joshua have been linked to fight each other since their respective rise to prominence in the heavyweight division, but both fighters have yet to face off in the ring.

But there's growing optimism that an all-British showdown will finally happen this year.

So much so that Eddie Hearn has booked Wembley Stadium for the summer, targeting a date in May or June.

Asked by Sky Sports if he had a Wembley Stadium date available if Fury vs. Joshua materalises, Hearn replied: "Yes. We're looking to get back in the ring in May or June. If it ended up being July, it doesn't really matter."

He added: "I still think it rests on Tyson Fury. Until the water settles on the defeat and where he's at mentally and what he wants to do, that's where we're really going to find out.

"Because when he looks at the options, what else is he going to do and who else is he going to fight?"

Hearn has previously stated that Fury and Joshua could be in line to earn a whopping £100 million EACH.

The Matchroom promoter made the claim before Fury and Joshua's respective defeats to Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois.

However, considering the involvement of Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh, who wants to make the bout, and the commercial interest in Fury vs. Joshua - from the gate receipt to pay-per-view revenue, it would generate an enormous amount of money, setting up massive fight purses for both men.

Speaking at The Ring Magazine awards, Joshua talked up a meeting against his domestic rival, saying: "It's a fight I want to see because I am a fan of boxing. When I am in the gym, everyone is asking me [about this fight]. I ain't got many years ahead of me. I want to leave the game with a bang and make an impact.

"Everyone is asking me the same question. It's up to me to deliver, that's why I'm saying it has to happen this year.

"I think we can make this fight happen."

Fury and Joshua are both without world heavyweight titles.

The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' surrendered the WBC title when he suffered the first defeat of his professional career last May before losing the rematch last month.

As for 'AJ', he's also without a world title, having failed to beat Dubois for the IBF strap last September.
