In an interview with Fight Hype, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirms that they have actually put pen to paper for a fight against Fury and the contract itself makes it explicitly clear that the venue (and by virtue the date) will be up to the sole discretion of Turki Alalshikh . “What we know is the fight is signed by both fighters,” Hearn said. “I mean, Fury’s already said he signed it.

We’ve now signed our end as well, so the fight is done. The location of that will be down to Turki Alalshikh. I think the one thing I’ll say about Turki Alalshikh is he’s a mad boxing fan.

And he knows that that fight in the UK is historic, so I think he wants to give British fight fans something they’ll remember forever. “However, he’s also the one paying the bill. So, really he has to look at where that fight makes sense for the business and for them as well.
