Fury vs Joshua: Eddie Hearn says talks have 'reopened' to stage British heavyweight blockbuster at Wembley Stadium

Promoter Eddie Hearn has announced that talks have "reopened" to stage the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight at Wembley Stadium.

Negotiations for the Fury vs Joshua fight had hit a major stumbling block after Madison Square Garden in New York emerged as the preferred venue to stage the blockbuster bout.

But Hearn has released a statement on social media, revealing that Wembley is again being considered as the venue for the fight.

He wrote: "I want to thank everyone for the unbelievable support!"

"You have been heard and talks have now re-opened for Wembley.

"Let's make history with one of the biggest sporting moments [British flag] has ever seen."

Sky Sports has contacted Fury's promoter Frank Warren for a response.

Speaking on DAZN, Hearn added that he had spoken to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan regarding bringing the fight to Wembley.

"I spoke to Sadiq Khan today, there's a narrative going around that Netflix want the fight to accommodate the American audience a little bit later. I get that, so we could do the fight later in Britain, but everybody is saying 'you can't do that, there's a curfew at Wembley'. Sadiq Khan has come back and said 'woah guys, we'll move heaven and earth to get this fight in London'," said Hearn.

Fury had taken to social media earlier this week to label Joshua a "coward" while insisting he had been "conning" boxing fans amid the continued hold up.

Mayor of London Khan spoke to Sky Sports on Thursday evening, urging Fury and Joshua's promoters to "get the fight to London".
