Joshua vs Fury: Negotiations underway with several countries

Negotiations are underway with representatives of countries that can host the fight of Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) and Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs). The fight for the title of the undisputed heavyweight champion is scheduled for May-June.

“Over the past two weeks I have had a lot of negotiations on this topic. We have received several interesting offers from different continents. We have not yet agreed on the fight 100%, but I'm sure everything is moving towards the conclusion of contracts," said Eddie Hearn, who has already organized boxing events in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua and Fury have two fights this year. The second bout is scheduled for November or December, but a lot depends on how the first meeting of the British goes.

The owner of WBA, WBO and IBF belts Joshua last fought in December, stopping Kubrat Pulev. Fury was out of the ring from last December. In his last performance, the reigning WBC World Champion defeated Deontay Wilder.
