There’s plenty of reason to doubt Fury vs Joshua is going to happen
We know the contracts are signed, but are those signed contracts going to produce the fight or a court battle?
Recent reports suggest that doubts are growing about the likelihood of a boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. The primary issue, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, is the insistence from Joshua and his team to move the fight from the United Kingdom to the United States, which would require additional financial compensation.
Hearn confirmed that their original contract stipulated a UK venue, and while Matchroom has offered alternative terms for a US fight, Hearn expressed a preference for the original location. The promoter acknowledged that the organizers would prefer a UK-based event, as evidenced by multiple sources. Fury, on the other hand, claims that Joshua and promoters are seeking higher pay to stage the fight in the US, a claim Hearn does not entirely refute but insists they have presented reasonable alternatives.
The question remains whether the fight will go ahead without further negotiations, as both parties are under contract to face each other in the UK.
