Joshua vs Fury: Las Vegas emerges as a serious option to stage fight – but it’s complicated

A heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remains unscheduled, but Las Vegas has emerged as a front-runner to host the fight, with other American cities also under consideration. A major complication is that Joshua's existing contract stipulates the fight must take place in the UK, requiring renegotiation in the coming weeks for a US venue to be confirmed. Key figures involved in the negotiations include Saudi powerbroker Turki Al-Sheikh, Netflix, Ring Magazine, Sela, Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions, and Eddie Hearn's Matchroom, with confidence the fight will proceed if both fighters come through their summer warm-up bouts unharmed.
