We may get a heavyweight showdown between former world champion Tony Bellew and Tyson Fury in 2018, according to promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom.
Hearn has spoken to both fighters about agreeing a deal.
Bellew was scheduled to fight next month in a rematch with David Haye, who withdrew with a bicep injury. While a Haye rematch is being rescheduled for next March or May - there is guarantee the fight will actual happen.
Hearn is very interested in working with Fury, who the promoter claims is a free agent.
Fury (25-0, 18 KOs), a former WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion, has been out of the ring since shocking Wladimir Klitschko for the belts in November 2015. Fury dropped the titles last year to focus on the state of his mental health.
He is currently training for a planned return in 2018 and aims to reclaim his license to box in the next few weeks. He has a hearing scheduled with UK-Anti Doping, who claim the boxer tested positive for a banned substance in early 2015.
In the last few weeks, the Fury and Bellew have been trading words on social media.
Hearn believes the contest will actually come off and claims it's not a very difficult deal to make.
"I believe you will see Bellew vs Fury in 2018 but it won't be the next one," Hearn told Sky Sports.
"My plan for Tony Bellew is to beat David Haye then fight Tyson Fury. By the time he beats Haye, the Fury [anti-doping hearing] situation may be in the clear. Tony has had discussions with Fury. We have had discussions. I spoke to Fury about that fight.
"Fury has joined up with [management company] MTK so we will speak to those guys about the fight. It's quite a simple deal but it's about timing of when the fight takes place."
