  "account": "Eddie Hearn, the promoter of Anthony Joshua, has stated that it is impossible for anyone to halt the planned bout between Tyson Fury and himself. Despite Fury's recent claims that the fight is unlikely to materialize, Hearn, who is Joshua's promoter, declared that the contract has been signed and a date is awaiting confirmation. In an interview with DAZN, Hearn emphasized that Fury's ranting and raving are meaningless, as the fight has already been finalized. The contract is non-negotiable, and there are no indications suggesting otherwise. The only scenario in which the fight would be averted is if either party breaches the contract. Hearn reiterated that the fight is on track to happen, with no obstacles in sight. The only potential hurdle is whether the fight will take place in the United Kingdom as originally planned, or be relocated to the United States, which is the preference of the Saudi organizers, Sela. Joshua and his promoter have signed a contract for the fight to be held in the UK, while Sela is pushing for a move to the US, primarily to cater to American viewers on Netflix. Hearn expressed his preference for a UK venue, but agreed to discussions with Sela regarding terms for a potential US staging.",
