Warren coy over whether Fury-Joshua will be in UK or US
Talks continue over a possible Wembley or Madison Square Garden staging, while a curfew exemption and a bigger financial package remain unresolved.
- On Thursday, Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed he and Anthony Joshua are stalling the Tyson Fury fight announcement, citing disputes over the event's location and third-party promotion involvement.
- The bout was originally targeted for London's Wembley Stadium, but Saudi matchmaker Turki Alalshikh pushed for a US venue, with New York City's Madison Square Garden emerging as the frontrunner for a November date.
- Hearn rejected requests from TKO and Zuffa Boxing to co-promote, calling the inclusion a "non-starter" and comparing it to Alalshikh forcing him to promote a UFC event for rival Dana White.
- Fury's promoter Frank Warren stated Thursday he cannot comment on the location, deferring to Alalshikh, while Hearn insists the contract terms currently mandate the fight take place in the UK.
- A move to New York remains possible if the financial package is stronger, Hearn acknowledged, though he maintains his refusal to concede on promotion rights despite his preference for Britain.
