Eddie Hearn Says United States Enters Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Venue Talks

The heavyweight fight is being targeted for November, with Britain and America under consideration for the event

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could meet in the United States later this year after Eddie Hearn revealed America is now being discussed as a potential venue. The heavyweight fight is being targeted for November, although both fighters still have business to handle before any announcement can be finalized.

“[The] UK and America are both in discussions right now. It’ll be down to [Turki Alalshikh] where that fight’s held, but we’re being told middle of November. [Joshua’s] got to get the job done against Prenga first,” said Hearn during an interview with Matchroom Boxing.

The inclusion of the United States comes as a surprise.

Saudi Arabia had widely been viewed as the most likely alternative if the fight was not staged in Britain, particularly given Turki Alalshikh’s role in helping bring the contest together. Hearn’s comments suggest a U.S. venue has entered the conversation instead.

Before any announcement can be made, Joshua must first take care of business against Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh.

Fury is also expected to return before facing Joshua. The former heavyweight champion has spoken about taking another fight during the summer after returning to the win column earlier this year.

A fight between Fury and Joshua has been discussed for years and remains one of the biggest events available in boxing. Hearn’s latest comments indicate the contest is moving toward a November date, with the final venue decision still to be made.
