Joshua-Fury Fight Faces Fresh Venue Dispute

The proposed blockbuster fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury faces fresh uncertainty over where the bout will take place.

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, says the fight could be postponed if both camps fail to reach an agreement on the venue.

Wembley Stadium was initially the preferred location, but Madison Square Garden in New York has now emerged as the leading option because of its wider global reach.

However, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, has warned that the fight could be cancelled if organisers announce New York as the venue without an agreement to move the bout from the United Kingdom.

Despite the dispute, Warren remains confident that the highly anticipated Battle of Britain will go ahead as planned in November.
