It's got to be Wembley Stadium then. I just don't fancy the hassle getting to and from the stadium. Is the fight worth any historical value to me? No.

Maybe a decent piss up at home with fresh homemade pizzas and a decent piss up

It's was a nightmare for the Usyk v Dubious fight. You would have thought they would have had all this covered for getting away. But most are heading towards 1 tube station, Wembley Park. It's a logistical nightmare and if there is a crush, fornicating hell. It's as bad in the tube as well, effing letting people to the platform, I was shouting at the police that this is near dangerous, someone will be killed before long in a crush

Yeah it's a bad set up for such a large venue

[jamesmcdonnell]

Went to wembley twice for boxing, never again, nightmare, utter shithole as well.

[Frostieballs]

Most large stadium fights are just a nightmare.

There is a sweet spot for the larger fights somewhere between 6k and 10k - say the Nottingham Ice Arena in the early Froch days to early Hatton at the Velodrome.

Tight atmosphere, generally easier to get to the bar and toilets, easier to get in and out of. For some reason less coked up people shouting jab him, 1-2.

[Taansend]

I'll take the day off for this one. Will be about 2pm or 3pm my time.

‘Wherever we’re told’: Eddie Hearn says Turki Alalshikh will choose location for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury

Eddie Hearn says the UK is the obvious place to host Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury but it’ll be up to the Saudi financier to make the call.



After recent news broke that a British heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury had finally been signed, it was a bit curious that the announcement came without a specific date or venue. 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. So wherever it is, it is. It’s not down to us to make those decisions, or AJ, or Tyson Fury. Ultimately, we signed a contract to fight wherever we’re told to fight is. Obviously everybody wants the fight to take place in the UK but we’ll see what transpires. The fight’s going to be mega and to do it in the UK is going to be really special.”

Hearn was then asked about the likelihood of it taking place around mid-November.

“I think that’s about the time frame they’re talking about,” Hearn responded. “Obviously [Joshua’s] going to fight end of July and then after that camp a few weeks off, maybe even August off, and then back into camp right at the beginning of September…”

I hope everything is in the contracts..

Tyson Fury could also take warm-up bout before Anthony Joshua fight | 'Tyson wants to keep busy,' says Frank~Warren

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are finally set to box later this year; but Joshua will first have a warm-up fight in July and Fury could elect to have an interim bout of his own too; Fury's promoter Frank~Warren said: "Tyson wants to keep busy. Tyson has to have focus in his life"

Tyson Fury could also take an interim bout before boxing Anthony Joshua later this year.

The Fury vs AJ showdown is set to take place before the end of 2026 but first Joshua will have a warm-up contest on July 25 in Riyadh.

Fury, who returned to boxing earlier this month after a year-long retirement, will also consider having his own warm-up too, potentially also in July.

His promoter Frank~Warren told Sky Sports: "He may decide he wants to do another fight."

Warren explained: "It wouldn't surprise me. Tyson wants to keep busy. Tyson has to have focus in his life as far as boxing is concerned. It's having a date. And at this moment there is no date [for the Joshua fight] because obviously AJ's fighting in July."

Joshua losing to Kristian Prenga, the little known Albanian he will fight in the summer, could be a problem for the Fury fight going ahead.

"We'll have to talk about that afterwards. Let's hope he doesn't lose," Warren said. "If he ain't going to beat this fellow he ain't going to beat Tyson that's for sure. He's got to go out and do a job.

"This fight is here for him to win and get all the cobwebs out and some of the mental problems that he may have, or not, from that terrible tragedy of losing his two friends in that car crash. So that's what it's all about."

Assuming Joshua wins this bout and Fury gets through any potential warm-up of his own, a date still needs to be set for their heavyweight super-fight. That would likely be in October or November.

"AJ's fighting on the 25th of July, he'll want to go back into camp, that's the sort of timescale," Warren said. "Tyson would prefer to do it as soon as possible. He'd prefer to do it in August/September."

The venue too still has to be confirmed, but Wembley Stadium would be a natural home for a fight of this magnitude. "We'd all like it in the UK but we'll see," Warren said.

He does not, though, anticipate any arguments over who is the A-side or the B-side, who ringwalks first or second, derailing the fight.

"That's got to be all decided but I've got to be honest, for me, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest because, for me, there's only one winner," Warren said backing his fighter, Fury.

"The money they're getting paid, they can skip in, do cartwheels into the ring. They're receiving huge purses for this. It's all about box office and demand and thanks to the interest of the Saudis and them financing it.

"It's huge money."

A curveball could be the unexpected stipulation that Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh wants Dua Lipa to perform at the event. But Warren does not think that will be a roadblock to the Fury vs Joshua showdown eventually happening.

"I doubt it very much," he said.

Warren concluded: "Hopefully there's going to be no hiccups and we'll get it.

"It's the big fight. It's finally on and it'll capture everybody's imagination."

Dua Lipa declines offer to perform at Fury v Joshua

Pop star Dua Lipa is not expected to perform at the heavyweight bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury later this year.

Britons Joshua, 36, and Fury, 37, have agreed terms for a long-awaited all-British contest targeted for the end of 2026.

However, Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Al-Sheikh had suggested the fight could be jeopardised if Dua Lipa did not agree to perform as part of the event's promotion.

It is unclear whether the remark was made in earnest or in jest, but BBC Sport understands the 30-year-old singer was approached about performing but declined the offer, and is not expected to be involved in the event.

Dua Lipa is one of the world's most successful pop artists, with global hits including New Rules, Don't Start Now and Levitating'.

A venue for Fury v Joshua has yet to be finalised, although Wembley Stadium in October is understood to be the preferred option for organisers.

Musical acts at high-profile boxing events have become a popular feature in recent years.

Rapper Eminem accompanied Terence Crawford to the ring for his welterweight championship fight against Errol Spence Jr. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher performed several songs before Daniel Dubois' win over Anthony Joshua at Wembley in 2024. And last year, 50 Cent performed during Chris Eubank Jr's ringwalk for his rematch with Conor Benn.

Before any bout with Fury can take place, former unified champion Joshua must first come through his scheduled fight against Kristian Prenga on 25 July in Saudi Arabia.

Fury made his comeback from retirement with a win over Arslanbek Makhmudov last month, but is exploring taking another bout as he waits for Joshua.

Queensberry promoter allegedly, who guides Fury, said a loss for Joshua in July would likely scupper a fight with the Gypsy King.

Joshua and Fury have long been linked with a fight, but several attempts to get them in the ring together over the past 10 years failed.

Should the fight go ahead as planned, both men are expected to earn a career-high payday.

So i guess we wont get the fight in the UK?

This fight has dragged on longer than my divorce. I wish I’d got paid at the end though.
