LONDON, Feb.18 (SEE)- British heavyweight Tyson Fury has signed a deal with United States network ESPN worth a reported £80m.

The deal, which is understood to cover Fury's next five fights, will see him broadcast on ESPN in the US while remaining on BT Sport in the UK. Fury believes the deal makes a rematch with Deontay Wilder "more makeable".

The deal however, although financially beneficial for makes the anticipated big fights between top three heavyweight giants Fury, Wilder and IBF, WBA and WBO champion Anthony Joshua more difficult, as the three now work with rival US broadcasters, making future negotiations arguably more difficult.
