Tyson Fury has confirmed he's sent a 'draft contract' to Anthony Joshua for a blockbuster showdown in September in the UK.
Fury vs. Joshua is back in talks as promoters George Warren and Eddie Hearn have revisited the discussion after the all-British clash collapsed last year.
The self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' has told his team to push for a fight against Joshua, who returned to the win column following his victory over Jermaine Franklin in April.
The WBC world heavyweight champion has confirmed a 'draft contract' has been sent to Joshua's camp ahead of a September fight at Wembley Stadium.

He had been in talks to face WBA (super), WBO and IBF title holder Oleksandr Usyk until negotiations broke down.
The 34-year-old Brit is eager to return to action as he eyes a bout against his domestic rival.
Joshua, meanwhile, has been linked with a fight against former foe Dillian Whyte, which is being explored for August 12 in the UK.
The former unified world champion already boasts a victory over Whyte, having stopped him in their December 2015 meeting. Whyte has a victory over Joshua in the amateur ranks.
