Eddie Hearn has rubbished reports of an agreement between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Hearn has negotiated for a long-desired heavyweight battle between Fury and Joshua for years, although a clash has so far failed to materialise.
On Saturday, talkSPORT pundit Gareth A Davies claimed there is an agreement for the pair to meet later this year or early next year on streaming giant Netflix.
“The Fury-Joshua fight is signed,” Davies said on talkSPORT.
“They are moving towards it.
“It’s with the big-money people.
“It will be on Netflix.
“[It’s] agreed. They are moving towards it.
“They both want the fight.”

Fury announced his return to the ring in January after over a year in retirement and the 37-year-old will face Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Joshua’s future has been uncertain ever since the 36-year-old was involved in a fatal car accident which took the lives of two of his close friends in Nigeria in December, 10 days after his victory over Jake Paul.
‘AJ’ sustained minor injuries and his career-long promoter, Hearn says he could return in July, but has denied suggestions of an agreement with Fury.
“It’s completely untrue,” Hearn told The Stomping Ground.
“There is absolutely nothing signed with Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury next.
“There is nothing agreed.
“There had been conversations prior to the accident, that he was going to fight Jake Paul, then he was going to fight in February or March in Saudi Arabia and then he was going to fight Tyson Fury.
“Nothing signed and then obviously the accident happened.
“Since then there has been no conversations really about that fight other than in the last few days, conversations with Dr Rakan, Sela about starting to think about revisiting the plan.
“I will go into camp with Anthony Joshua next week when he starts and we will start having conversations about what’s next.”
