USA Set to Host Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury Match
The long-awaited heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is increasingly expected to be staged in the United States, with Madison Square Garden in New York emerging as the frontrunner to host the blockbuster fight. (Sky Sports)
Although the all-British clash has long been associated with Wembley Stadium, recent reports indicate that promoters and commercial partners are pushing to take the event to the U.S. to maximize its global reach and commercial appeal. (Sky Sports)
According to Sky Sports, negotiations have progressed significantly, with the United States now favored over the United Kingdom as the venue. The proposed fight is expected to be broadcast globally, with Netflix reportedly among the parties backing a U.S.-based event. (Sky Sports)
However, Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn has maintained that Joshua’s contract specifies a UK venue and has publicly opposed moving the bout overseas. He insists Wembley remains Joshua’s preferred location despite increasing pressure from other stakeholders. (Talksport)
No official venue or fight date has been confirmed, but industry insiders believe an announcement could be made once the remaining contractual details are finalized. (NY FIGHTS)
If confirmed, the fight would finally bring together two of Britain’s biggest heavyweight stars after years of failed negotiations and would rank among the most anticipated boxing events in recent history.
