Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s widely awaited fight will take place in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
During a new interview with Sky Sports on Monday, May 11th, Hearn provided an update on the fight saying the face-off could take place on August 7th or 14th.
“I think it’s a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi Arabia. To be honest with you, I don’t mind giving you that information. Bob Arum – Fury’s US promoter – has already done it.”
Hearn also mentioned that a precise location and date have yet to be determined.
Hearn revealed in March that Joshua and Fury had agreed to a two-fight contract following months of negotiations.
Boxing enthusiasts all over the world are anticipating the match as it will be the first time all four titles will be fought in a heavyweight bout.
Hearn also said that he hopes to set a date this week.
“Of course you’ve got the Olympics finishing on August 7th, so in terms of a global spectacle, it would make sense to go on the 14th.
“That’s one of the things to tick off in the next, hopefully, few days.”
