Anthony Joshua's management team have confirmed that the two-time heavyweight champion has agreed to an all-British showdown with Tyson Fury on December 3.
Fury issued the challenge to his domestic rival last week, and provided Joshua with two dates to choose from - November 26 at Wembley Stadium or December 3 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Joshua has now accepted the latter.
'Joshua-Fury update: 258 and can confirm, on behalf of @anthonyjoshua, that we accepted all terms presented to us by Fury’s team for a fight Dec 3rd last Friday,' 258 MGT posted on Twitter on Tuesday morning.
Joshua's team quickly received one on Twitter from Fury's promoter Frank Warren on Twitter.
Warren replied: 'Contract will be with you very soon.'
Following this exchange on Twitter, it now seems that the biggest fight in the heavyweight division is edging nearer to actually happening.
Fury and Joshua looked set to meet last year when they were negotiating for an undisputed fight, but an arbitration panel ruled that Fury had to face Deontay Wilder for a third time instead.
