Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight date and venue revealed

-


 The date and venue of the mouthwatering heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury has been revealed.

 

Speaking to Sky Sports on Tuesday, May 11, Anthony Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn announced that the fight will take place in Saudi Arabia on August 7 or 14.

 

The British superstars will clash for all four heavyweight belts in the Middle East in a fight the world craves.

 

Hearn also stated that both Joshua and Fury were happy to trust the Saudis because they already 'delivered on every one of their promises' for Joshua's fight against Andy Ruiz in 2019.

 

"August 7, August 14," Hearn said on Sky Sports when asked about a date for Joshua-Fury. "It's a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi Arabia. I don't mind giving that information, Bob Arum's already done it.

 

"It's the same people we did the deal with for Andy Ruiz, that event was spectacular. As partners, they were fantastic as well, so we're very comfortable.

The August clash will be the first in a two-fight deal, with the second bout expected to take place at the end of 2021.

 

It has also been reported that the fight could generate as much as £500million, with Joshua and Fury agreeing a 50/50 split.

 

Fury is unbeaten in 31 professional fights, with his only blemish coming in a controversial draw against Deontay Wilder in 2018, a clash many felt he won.

 

Meanwhile, Joshua has a record of 24-1, with his only defeat coming at the hands of Andy Ruiz in 2019.
