Eddie Hearn says there is only one way Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury won’t happen

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed on August 23, 2026, that a contract for the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight has already been signed, with the only remaining obstacle being disagreement over the location. Hearn stated that both camps completed warm-up bouts last month, clearing a major hurdle, but a dispute persists as Fury's side and other parties push for the fight to take place in New York, while Hearn and most UK fans prefer a UK venue. Hearn told DAZN that the fight cannot be pulled out of by either party, and the only scenario in which it does not happen is a breach of contract from the opposing side.
