Joshua vs Fury on August 7, official announcement next weekend?

The fight of Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (24-1, 21 KOs) is set to take place on August 7th. At least that's what the American journalist Mike Coppinger says. The duel is to be officially announced this weekend.

In recent days, tensions have escalated around the organization of the meeting for the absolute world championship in the heavyweight division. Bob Arum speaks louder and louder about his doubts about the completion of the deal and even started talking about a possible third fight of Fury and Deontay Wilder.

Eddie Hearn speaks in a completely different tone, admitting that the signing of a contract with investors from Saudi Arabia, where the duel will take place, takes longer than expected, but the contracts allegedly do not threaten anything. Boxers will compete for the WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF heavyweight belts.
