Tyson Fury’s promoter says ball in Anthony Joshua’s court regarding ‘Battle of Britain’
Joshua and Fury are expected to meet on Nov. 20, with Madison Square Garden in New York emerging as a likely location.
Tyson Fury has recommenced his training in Miami while controversies persist regarding his potential bout with Anthony Joshua, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, revealed that the former world heavyweight champion has already commenced his preparations, despite the lack of a final agreement on the fight's venue.
Initial plans to hold the match at Wembley have been replaced by a potential staging in the United States, leading to tensions between the fighters' camps. The commercial appeal and a larger global audience in the US are driving promoters towards American soil. However, Joshua's contract insists that the fight must take place in the United Kingdom.
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn described the ongoing negotiations as a "crunch week" and revealed that he has sent contract revisions, including a higher purse for Joshua to offset the tax deficit in the US. Hearn also mentioned that Joshua is prepared to return to training after a brief break and is eager to avoid pushing the fight to December.
