Boxing news: Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder fight could collapse and Tyson Fury may lose title
Anthony Joshua has agreed a boxing showdown with Deontay Wilder
PA
Eddie Hearn has revealed Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder have agreed terms ahead of a potential fight.
However, the boxing promoter also revealed there's an issue when it comes to finding a site that can host the contest.
Speaking to BBC Five Live, Hearn said: "We've agreed the money. We've agreed everything.
"We're waiting on the official contract but we won't wait forever."

If the official deal doesn't come through, then it's possible the fight could collapse.
And that would be a killer blow to Joshua, with the Brit eager to get back into the ring having already beaten Robert Helenius this year.
Hearn added: "He [Joshua] is just training away but he wants Wilder.
"If it can't be made, he wants to stay active.
"If he fights in December, that'll be three fights in eight months which is incredible for him.
"People keep saying he should have one more fight and then fight Wilder, but we don't think so.
"If it ends up that way, so be it and nothing would surprise me.
"If he fights in December, if he fights Deontay Wilder, if he fights Tyson Fury next - nothing would surprise me.
"There's Filip Hrgovic and there's Andy Ruiz Jr, but it probably won't take place in this country.
"He's had two now on the spin at The O2 Arena, so maybe we go to Madison Square Garden, somewhere in the Middle East. It's just about activity for him."
The Sun have also claimed that Tyson Fury could be stripped of his WBC heavyweight title if he doesn't face the winner of Joshua's fight with Wilder.
The Brit is currently focused on a showdown with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Both Wilder and Joshua have been ranked at the WBC's No 1 and No 2 heavyweights - 'meaning they could slap mandatory status on the fight'.
And World Boxing News say Fury 'faces being stripped' of his green and gold belt if he doesn't agree to face the winner.
Fury hasn't defended his WBC crown since beating Derek Chisora at Wembley last year.
His belt isn't on the line ahead of his battle with Ngannou, with that fight scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia next month.
Instead, they'll be going for the 'Riyadh Champion' prize instead.
British heavyweight contender Dave Allen said earlier this year that Fury should be stripped of his titles for agreeing to the fight with Ngannou.
"I am disappointed, to be honest," he said last month.
"I'm probably going to pay to watch it because it's intriguing. The same way I paid to watch Jake Paul-Tommy Fury, intrigue, curiosity.

"But I've known Tyson a very long time, we've been mates for a long time.
"I understand it, the money's great. He's going to get paid tens of millions [to fight] a fella who's never boxed before. Great business for him.
"I understand why he's doing it but I don't like it. And he probably should be stripped of his titles because he's not defended it since Chisora.
"It will be 18 months by the time he boxes again. If he wants to do these exhibitions then go and do them, I'm happy for him, earn your money.
"But if you're not going to defend the belt, give these other fighters a chance that want to fight."
