A long-anticipated all-British heavyweight fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua appears closer than ever.

Joshua’s management group said in a post Tuesday on Twitter that its fighter has accepted the terms presented by Fury for a bout Dec. 3.

That was made known to Fury’s team on Friday, the 258MGT group said, before both parties agreed to halt communication following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“We are awaiting a response,” posted the management team, which said it was speaking on behalf of Joshua along with the fighter’s promoter, Matchroom.

The response was pretty much immediate from Fury’s British promoter, Frank Warren. “Contract will be with you very soon,” Warren said on Twitter.
