British boxing fans are struggling to contain their excitement at the thought of an all-British heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
The pair went back and forth on social media on Monday and now both teams are reportedly exchanging offers to stage a fight later this year.
However, there may not be enough time for a fight of this magnitude to be made. That's the verdict of DAZN Boxing analyst and former world middleweight champion Darren Barker.
"I’d love to see the fight, I don’t think it matters that AJ is coming off two back-to-back losses to Usyk, he lost to the better man," Barker told DAZN.
"AJ is still a superstar and will still sell out arenas and stadiums across the world, as will Tyson Fury.
"I think it’s a little tongue in cheek, I probably believe that Fury does want the fight, if it could be made, I’m sure he would go for it.
"It’s when you look at it logistically, the promoters, the broadcasters, finding a stadium for the fight at this short notice, I don’t think there’s enough time.
"Fury wants to fight in December, the date’s booked December 17th, Usyk wants to spend some time with his family and won’t be ready until February.
"I don’t think there’s enough time realistically for that fight to happen.
"I would love it if something amazing could happen and everyone sits down and says ‘look let’s put our egos to one side and let’s make this fight happen.’
"We’ve seen it with Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, we see broadcasters and promoters come together, and it worked.
"Is there enough time though? I don’t think so."
