Eddie Hearn Gets Clever Over Joshua-Fury Contract
Fury posted a video with Mike Tyson as the fight nears contract deadlines and a new venue deal still needs Joshua's approval.
- The venue standoff for the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua heavyweight clash continued as organizers favor Madison Square Garden in New York for a November bout, though Fury has signed the contract while Joshua is resisting.
- Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn claims a contractual stipulation mandates the fight take place on British soil, a condition prioritized when they initially signed to face Fury. Consequently, talks regarding a London venue have stalled after 10 years of waiting.
- Fury recently enlisted boxing legend Mike Tyson to pressure his rival in a video message, shouting, "AJ, sign the contract, big boy," and adding he would "knock his a-- spark out 100%."
- On Thursday, London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed he is "really keen" to host the fight at Wembley Stadium and urged promoters to contact him. However, sources indicate no detailed discussions regarding dates or timings have progressed for a London event.
- Promoter Hearn intends to finalize an announcement this week, with a news conference scheduled for next week, as the window for arrangements closes rapidly and fans await official confirmation the long-awaited bout will proceed.
