Frank Warren is still hopeful that a huge light-heavyweight encounter can take place between two of Britain’s leading stars.
After defeating Dan Azeez earlier this year, Joshua Buatsi made it clear that his main target was Anthony Yarde and talks for the bout got underway.
Buatsi is eager to test himself at a high level and a showdown with the two-time world title challenger would answer some questions.
Yarde has fallen short against Sergey Kovalev and Artur Beterbiev in previous cracks at glory, but a win over Buatsi could open the door for a third attempt.
"Everybody wants it, says they want it and it's a matter of agreeing the terms," said Warren, the promoter of Yarde, when speaking to Sky Sports.
"One side has agreed terms, and the other is still negotiating. I'm hoping that we can get it done because it's a fight that everybody wants to see. At the end of the day, everyone's going to have to be realistic.”
