World heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson was reported to have agreed to a September defense against Britain’s Frank Bruno that will earn the undisputed champion $12.32 million and the challenger $3.52 million.

British commercial television reported from London that Kieron Murphy of London’s Anglo-City Sporting Club made the offer to Tyson’s camp and that, despite initial skepticism, the champion had agreed.

Murphy refused to confirm the report, but indicated he expects to hold a press conference “within 48 hours.”

Bruno’s manager, Terry Lawless, said he would be skeptical about the fight until he received confirmation that Murphy had indeed got Tyson’s signature.
