  "account": "Promoter Eddie Hearn affirmed that no force can thwart the planned bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Despite Fury's recent assertion to the contrary, Hearn, who represents Joshua, remains steadfast on the fight's progression. Hearn disclosed to DAZN that the match has been formally contracted, awaiting a designated date. Hearn dismissed Fury's outburst, stating that there is nothing to be agitated about as the fight is set to take place. The only scenario in which the fight might not occur would be if either party breaches their contractual obligations. Initially anticipated for November, the bout between Joshua and Fury was poised to be a monumental event in British boxing history. However, conflicting preferences have emerged regarding the location of the event. Joshua and his promoter Hearn have inked a contract for the fight to be held in the United Kingdom, while Saudi organizers Sela are advocating for a move to the United States. New York's Madison Square Garden is reportedly Sela's favored venue, aiming to accommodate American viewership through a Netflix broadcast. Hearn emphasized their preference for a British staging, expressing reluctance to comply with Sela's demand. Despite the opposition, Hearn and Joshua's team have communicated their willingness to negotiate terms for a potential relocation to America.",
