Tyson Fury’s promoter speaks out on Anthony Joshua fight amid venue row

  • Boxing promoter Frank Warren has confirmed that Tyson Fury has signed the contract for an all-British heavyweight bout against Anthony Joshua, but Joshua's signature remains outstanding.
  • Fury is willing to fight regardless of the location, with New York's Madison Square Garden emerging as the frontrunner backed by Saudi promoters, while Joshua's team favours Wembley Stadium.
  • The fight was originally scheduled for September after Fury signed an initial agreement in January, but it was postponed following a tragic car accident involving close friends of Joshua last December.
  • Both fighters have competed in warm-up bouts in preparation, with Fury securing victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach, and Joshua defeating Kristian Prenga in July.
  • Organisers are now targeting a November fight date, though contractual amendments regarding venues and broadcasting rights must still be resolved before an official announcement can be made.
