Yet, despite strong public support for a bout and significant conjecture and negotiations, a showdown has never materialised. However, earlier this month, rumours circulated on social media that a fight had finally been agreed between Joshua and Fury in what would be dubbed as 'The Battle of Britain' and arguably the biggest fight in British boxing history, with a date set for April 26 at Wembley.

And Hearn has revealed he has reserved the iconic Wembley Stadium for the fight to potentially take place in 'May or June' - but admitted it all comes down to Fury's decision after his recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk. '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,' Hearn told Sky Sports at the Ring Awards when asked if he has booked in a Wembley date.
