[Kelvinid]

BREAKING NEWS !!!

Hearn, the manager of Joshua has stated that the first fight is going ahead in the summer of 2021: (SKY SPORTS)

Fury and Joshua have approved the fight "site" offer and they are finalising the site deal (whatever that might mean)

The location has not been formally announced but as soon the site deal is finalised there will be a press conference.

This is good to hear. I expected them to come to an agreement sometime this week. It didn't seem like a coincidence that Hearn, Arum, and Fury were all in Las Vegas at the same time. Now we just have to wait for the official announcement to find out the venue and which country will be hosting the event.

What are the possible countries for the venue of the fight?

I think @OP, better to make a poll about this and let us guesss.  how about that? Me, I think it will be in Dubai.. would be great venue IMO.

The Saudi king family is offering $100 million for this fight other than that i have not heard any other offers from Dubai but the promoters are looking to put the fight together in the UK itself as it is the biggest fight in the history of boxing especially two English boxers and they can fill an entire football stadium.

Some of the places mentioned in the SKY SPORTS report: Saudi Arabia, America, China, Qatar, Singapore, Dubai and the United Kingdom but we are all waiting for the announcement.

That's a huge offer, but this is a huge fight and I think they need to find a way to make it happen in UK, it will be in the history, their country should benefit from this. Since this fight have a rematch clause, then maybe they can do it in other location in the 2nd fight, and if there's a trilogy, better be back in UK.

Finally this is the announcement that we have been waiting for a very long time, this is probably going to be the fight of the year as there is nothing more exciting than to see two heavyweight champions trying to see who is the best out of the two, I'm glad that the fight is actually taking place because I was beginning to doubt that would be the case because promoters have the tendency to make all kind of manoeuvres to try to hype the fight and for a moment it seemed that this was one of their tricks.

Will the UK government begin allowing stadiums full of fans in the middle of a pandemic? It will be in Dubai. Their government has begun to allow fans to watch UFC events. Also, Eddie Hearn has met with Dana White. I speculate Hearn might be asking for information on how to organize it in Dubai.

Fury is certainly a beast, so I think he can win both. He deserves to be recognized properly after being overshadowed by Deontay Wilder's popularity. Hope to get some bets against locals here for their fight lmao

Judging by the timing, one should not find out how this can be organized, but already deal with the organization of the battle 
It will be great if the fight takes place with a full-fledged live audience, for example, football is very difficult to watch with empty stands, especially if not top teams are playing. In this fight, emotions will be fine anyway, but with a live crowd, the fight will be even more interesting.

He already had the recognition and respect, reason why he is the favorite to win this fight, however, AJ is not an easy opponent, he has to prove that he really is the best by beating AJ in this fight, both fights just to be ensure people will not doubt on him. Things are just getting excited actually, they are now in the process of looking for a venue which we know the chance of it happening is already high since they can choose whatever location that would best suit this big fight.

There is no way the UK government will be allowing audience but if they can make a decision that if anyone vaccinated can attend these events then the entire scope of things will change and may be that is what they were waiting for. Eddie Hearn meeting with Dana White suggests that he will be looking for more options and the way in which the UFC conducted their fights successfully everyone should take note.

Eddie Hearn has more options to carry on with the fight in Saudi or Dubai and may be he is confused in making a conclusive decision .

Impossible if the government of UK would really be allowing crowd to fill out the stadium or venue even though there are already events that they had let the some crowd to see up but lets compare on how
many would be attending if ever this would be allowed? Fans in boxing is a lot compared to other sports which i can say that this would be surely be prohibited.
They would really be getting lots of criticisms instead if they do ever to push out that set-up even people are vaccinated will be required then its not an assurance
for possible spread.

I think he has a point, before Fury got all of those problems with addiction that lead him to lose his tittles and to retire for a long time he was thought as the best fighter but once he returned he has struggled to get the recognition that he deserves, this has changed only recently after he dominated Wilder completely and took his title, the only one that can claim at the moment that he is better is Joshua and finally we get to see them both going at it during this year.

Right now it looks like an impossible task to fill a stadium as things are getting out of hand in certain parts of the world but they can allow limited crowds for these events and just focus on Pay Per view revenue rather than live gate.

They need to follow the protocol and then allow limited fans, there are events that have done that, UFC had limited fans during their shows and so does some events in Australia and New Zealand. So it is possible to allow fans but you need to follow the protocol and make the event safer.

The latest news is that Bob Arum has revealed that the fight will indeed take place in Saudi Arabia. The final details are still not decided but the date of this fight will be in late July or early August. I'm sure the British fans will be disappointed they can't attend this event but it would be crazy to turn down the amount of money the Saudis are willing to offer.

^ Probably but in heavyweight, it is really hard to reach the top. Strongest will always have a match and that is why I really admire Tyson Fury. He had a very tough way to the top. Imagine having 31 fights and only have 1 loss? Like what the hell was that?
So it is really possible that he can defeat Joshua, basing it on his previous match and also their style of fighting, you can tell that Tyson has the advantage to win. Besides, Fury is the mainstream and his bigmouth only implies being an entertaining boxer. Cause conflicts make the people urge to watch the fight and that is business.

Actually Tyson Fury is undefeated in all his 30 fights, you can see it in https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/479205.
He is 30-1 because that 1 is a Draw.

Anthony Joshua is actually the one with one loss against Ortiz. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/659461

very possible because most of us here believe that he will win in this two fights, and the bookies says he is the favorite to win.

According to the information I got from one of the Anthony Joshua fan telegram accounts is that the actual day the fight will take place is not chosen but 3days were already selected so either the fight take place on July 24, July 31, or August 7 and the venue was said to be Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

It is possible that we would see Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury in Saud Arabia as Anthony Joshua had his rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi and they offered a good amount of money to conduct the fight and his management will be having close ties to Saudi authorities to take decisions they were looking like inviting audience and so on. Hopefully we will hear about a official release date from either side.

Exactly, it's all for the money baby!!! We all know that there are a lot of billionaires in Saudi that is willing to pour their money just to host this kind of big fights, regardless if we have the pandemic or not.

So I don't have any complains about it, as long as they fight will happen this year so be it.

It will be interesting though the Eddie Hearn has agreed to a reported 9 figure deal with DAZN. And ending his almost 10 years relationship with Sky Sports.
