Eddie Hearn confirmed that he has already had several conversations with Bob Arum about the organization of the fight of Anthony Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) and Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs), and already the first preparations for this fight has began.

Fight for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion will be held in the second half of November. In the British Isles one of the possible sites is the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. However, the organization of the fight in Las Vegas is much more likely.

Profits from the ticket sales in the United States will be more significant, in spite of the fact that 80,000 spectators will be able to watch the fight in Cardiff. The transition to the US time zone would also bring more TV income.

Fury now has WBC championship belt, and his next fight will take place on July 18 which is a third fight against Deontay Wilder. Joshua returns to the ring on June 20 in London, where he will defend his IBF, WBA and WBO belts against Kubrat Pullev.
