Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury verbally agree to fight again, sources say

After an arbitration ruling that halted the negotiations between Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) and Anthony Joshua, Fury and Deontay Wilder have verbally agreed to terms on a third fight, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

The fight is tentatively scheduled for July 24, with a site in Las Vegas to be determined, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. An alternate date targeted for the fight is Aug. 14, ESPN's Mark Kriegel reported earlier Thursday.

Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN he expects the contracts to be signed in the coming days. Purses are split 60-40 in Fury's favor for this trilogy fight, according to Kriegel.
