Filming has reportedly been taking place since Fury defeated Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April this year, after which he announced he would be leaving the sport.
However, since then Fury has reversed his decision to retire and is looking for opponents to fight in December.
A highly anticipated fight against Anthony Joshua has been going on for months, with suggestions that a 60/40 scholarship split had been agreed between the pair and the fight could take place in Cardiff.
However, this seems in doubt after Fury gave the former WBA, IBF, WBO and IBF champion an ultimatum to tell AJ to sign the contract tomorrow or else he will walk away and look for a new opponent.
During the Joyce vs Parker event, the Gypsy King said, “I’m tired of setting deadlines. They want this poxy fight or not.’
But AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn claims Fury’s comments are an attempt to hide his interest in fighting German heavyweight Mahmoud (formerly Manuel) Charr instead.
“The talks have gone well and are moving in the right direction, but there is still a long way to go.” Hearn told Seconds Out.

Eddie Hearn has hit back at Tyson Fury for setting a contract deadline for the proposed fight with Anthony Joshua
Joshua’s team initially said they had accepted the contract, but Fury says they have kept quiet
“Fury wants to fight Manuel Charr, that’s pretty clear, and the public isn’t the brightest if they think otherwise.”
While the long-specified clash between the two best British heavyweights of a generation may have seemed the closest thing to reality, Hearn explained that the fight will not take place if Fury’s ultimatum on Monday was genuine.
“I don’t think there is a way to sign this contract on Monday as there is still a lot to do,” Hearn said furiously.
“This fight takes time. We waited 10 days to get the contract… suddenly he wants it signed within 24 hours. No chance.’
‘Guess? The fight will not be signed on Monday. So if you want to walk away from that, while we’re all trying to make it – including your promo team – go ahead.”
Hearn went on to criticize Fury for having serious doubts about the fight set to take place in December.
Asked if he was leaning towards the long-awaited fight that wasn’t going to happen, Hearn said: “Yeah, because if he comes up with such statements… we’ll see.
Once again, Tyson Fury made a statement: “I’m retired, I’m this, I’m giving my wallet to the homeless, I’m walking away from this fight on Monday”.
‘Guess? The fight will not be signed on Monday. So if you want to walk away from that, while we’re all trying to make it – including your promo team – go ahead.”
