Eddie Hearn says Tyson Fury’s latest update on Anthony Joshua fight is ‘absolutely’ untrue

Eddie Hearn has publicly contradicted claims made by Tyson Fury and Netflix that the Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight is close to being officially announced. Hearn stated on August 18, 2026 that there is 'absolutely nothing imminent' regarding an announcement, despite Fury posting a social media video saying confirmation was coming 'imminently' and Netflix airing a promotional teaser. A key sticking point remains the fight's location, with Netflix and Fury's team pushing for New York while Joshua and Hearn insist the signed contract requires the bout to be held in the UK.
