  "summary": "Promoter Eddie Hearn has declared that the highly anticipated Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury fight cannot collapse, stating that the contract for the bout has already been signed and cannot simply be walked away from. Hearn emphasized that the fight is now firmly locked in, with only a breach of the signed agreement capable of derailing it. While Fury had suggested the bout was in danger due to Joshua seeking more money, Hearn dismissed this claim as noise, stating that the contracts have already been signed by both parties and that Joshua cannot change his mind about honouring the agreement without facing contractual consequences. The main point of contention now lies in the fight's location, with Joshua's contract calling for the bout to be staged in the United Kingdom, while Saudi-backed organizers are pushing for Madison Square Garden in New York.",
