“The countries of the Middle East are aggressively pursuing this meeting and are certainly the favorites. To organize such an event requires strong government support. This is a fight that will show how strong the country in which it will be held,” Hearn said.
The most serious candidate for organizing a duel between the two Britons is Saudi Arabia, where Joshua had a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. more than a year ago. A stadium was built especially for this occasion, which was demolished a few weeks later.
Fury and Joshua will have two fights this year. If epidemic conditions permit, the second battle will take place at a football stadium in the UK.
