Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is "ready to conclude a deal" for a heavyweight unification fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in December.

The two British fighters hold all four belts between them after Fury beat Deontay Wilder to take the WBC title last month.

Joshua, the WBA, IBF and WBO champion, will fight Kubrat Pulev on 20 June.

Fury is set to face Wilder for a third time this summer after the American triggered a rematch clause.

Joshua's promoter Hearn says there is no reason why they can put that deal in place now for the winner of those two fights.

He added he had reached a point in talks with Fury's US promoter Bob Arum "where they're ready to conclude a deal and try to move forward to get that deal done for December".
