Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua\u2019s long-awaited heavyweight showdown is contracted to take place in the United Kingdom, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.<\/p>\n
The pair are due to meet later this year after agreeing to face each other in a deal backed by Saudi Arabian boxing powerbroker Turki Al-Sheikh.<\/p>\n
The location and date of the heavyweight contest has yet to be confirmed with multiple venues linked to hosting the bout.<\/p>\n
The latest suggested to be in the running was Los Angeles\u2019 SoFi Stadium, according to a report by BoxingScene.<\/p>\n
But Hearn, Joshua\u2019s longtime promoter, has confirmed to The Athletic that the contract for the fight stipulates the bout must take place in the UK.<\/p>\n
The fight organisers \u2014 Ring Magazine, which is owned by Al-Sheikh \u2014 are targeting a November date and Wembley Stadium will be favourite to stage the bout given it has the largest capacity venue in the UK.<\/p>\n
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has hosted three major Ring Magazine events including Fury\u2019s April win over Arslanbek Makhmudov but it would reduce the number of people able to attend a bout which will be hugely anticipated even though both men are no longer world champions.<\/p>\n
Joshua, 36, is due to face Albanian Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Fury, 37, also wants a warm-up bout before the all-British showdown later this year but has yet to agree a deal. He has previously stated on his Instagram account that he will fight in Dublin on August 1.<\/p>\n
Frank Warren\u2019s Queensberry are hosting an event that night at the 3 Arena but no confirmation Fury will feature has been made yet.<\/p>\n
If both men come through the warm-up bouts unscathed then they will meet later this year with the highly-anticipated fight to be broadcast on streaming service Netflix.<\/p>\n
