Anthony Joshua is set to fight Jake Paul in a blockbuster heavyweight clash in Miami later this year.
The two camps are reportedly close to reaching an agreement in their negotiations, according to The Daily Mail.
Paul had been scheduled to face American rival Davis this Saturday night, but the bout was cancelled following allegations of domestic violence against the latter.
He could now face Joshua on either December 9 or 12.
Joshua has not entered the ring since his defeat to British rival Daniel Dubois last year.
Dubois brutally knocked out Joshua in the fifth round, derailing hopes of him mounting a charge for the heavyweight titles.
