Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Proposed heavyweight super fight moves step closer to being in USA over UK

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's long-awaited heavyweight showdown looks increasingly likely to be in America rather than the UK.

Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that Turki Alalshikh, who is organising the all-British bout, now prefers the clash to be in the USA.

Alalshikh previously said that he wants the fight to take place at a time that works for a global audience and would hold talks with the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, over a later-than-usual start time.

"That doesn't tally up with the contract that we signed. Until we're happy, we expect every point of that contract to be followed. I feel like this fight should be taking place in the UK.

"Anthony Joshua insisted that the contract stated that the fight must be in the UK.

"If they want to change the contract, then we have to renegotiate the contract. Which, by the way, is not a problem. But it's a conversation we have to have."

Fury remains unconvinced that Joshua will agree to the fight and questioned whether his rival has the "guts" to face him.
