AI Summary

Eddie Hearn expresses strong confidence that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will finally meet in the ring this November in the UK. Hearn emphasizes that the fight's contract mandates it to take place in Britain, despite discussions about potential venues in the USA or Saudi Arabia.

  • Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga on July 25, while Fury plans to fight in Dublin on August 1.
  • If both fighters emerge victorious, a long-awaited clash is on the horizon.

Hearn highlighted that Wembley Stadium stands as the "clear favourite" for hosting the bout, referencing its record attendance during Joshua's previous fight. He noted:

"The fight will take place really where Turki Alalshikh wants it to take place. However, if that is outside the UK there will have to be another conversation."

The promoter is optimistic about a November date, suggesting the middle Saturday as a potential target. He humorously remarked that the fight could happen even in snowy conditions, stating:

"That fight can take place in the snow - I don't really care, as long as it takes place."

Reflecting on Joshua's recent challenges, including a tragic car accident, Hearn praised Joshua's renewed focus and commitment. He stated:

"I've never seen him speak so clearly about the future."

With Joshua's preparations under the guidance of Oleksandr Usyk, and the looming fight against Prenga, all eyes are on the anticipated showdown between the two heavyweights, marking a significant moment in British boxing history.
