The heavyweight superstars are still in talks for what will be a historic undisputed title decider, with negotiations taking place behind closed doors.
The fight, according to estimates, could sum up to about 200 million pounds.
Neither Joshua nor Tyson Fury have started their training camps yet, although concern has been raised over the fitness of the Gypsy King after a photo of his physique surfaced online.
If the photo is anything to go by, Fury seems to have gained some extra pounds.
Fury also shared a video of himself enjoying the Morecambe Bay waters without a shirt on and it was not difficult to see his body has undergone drastic changes.

Hearn spoke to Seconds Out where he revealed his client’s initial reaction to Tyson Fury’s weight gain.
“I think before he goes into any main camp he doesn’t look like AJ, ever.
“I said to AJ the other day, ‘Did you see Fury jumping in the sea? He looked like me!’
“The response from AJ was, ‘We’re gonna get the best Tyson Fury, so I don’t care if he’s carrying a bit of extra weight now, I’m training for the best ever Tyson Fury.’
That is quite elite mentality from AJ, who is unwilling to make the mistake of underestimating his opponent ahead of a big fight in a couple of months.
