Tyson Fury promoter provides promising Anthony Joshua fight update after Eddie Hearn concern

Frank Warren has now addressed Eddie Hearn's concerns over the Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight finally happening later this year.

Two of the greatest heavyweights of the modern era have battled against all other serious competitors across their careers, except for one another, but that could be about to change.

Fury invited Joshua into the ring after his unanimous victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, calling out his fiercest rival for a showdown.

To fuel excitement for their battle, the pair have had warm-up fights. AJ turned a low-risk battle against Kristian Prenga into a dogfight last month after hitting the canvas twice in the opening round before escaping with a second-round knockout.

Fury's victory over Mariusz Wach in Thailand was a little more straightforward, with the 37-year-old prevailing via a seventh-round stoppage in little more than an over-glorified training session.

All roads now lead to the 'Battle of Britain' in November, but only if all parties agree on the location and venue of the fight. Turki Alalshikh and his Saudi backers are pushing for the fight to be staged in the US, with New York's Madison Square Garden emerging as the most likely destination.

But Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, wants the dust-up to be held in the UK - preferably at Wembley Stadium - and has promised to pull AJ out of the fight if it is scheduled for the US without changing the agreement.

"By the way, there might even be a situation where they go ahead and announce it anyway, and you'll probably see me come out quite quickly and say, 'No fight," Hearn said on The Punch Podcast.

"Because I promise you, if they announce that fight without an agreement in place to change the venue, there will be no fight, and we ain't bluffing."

"Everybody wants to do the fight in New York, apart from Anthony Joshua and me," he continued.

"We're under a huge amount of pressure, and we're being told by Turki Alshikh and those guys - Netflix particularly - 'Look, we really want to do the fight in the US.' It's almost not a 'please Eddie,' but like, 'We're partners. We're paying a lot of money. Come on, you have to understand that we need to put the fight where we feel is commercially the best place.'

Frank Warren responds to Eddie Hearn's concern

While Hearn addressed his concerns about the fight going ahead if it takes place outside of the UK, Fury's promoter Frank Warren is confident that the clash will still go ahead regardless after detailing an "agreement".

"Tyson Fury has his agreement, which states something different. The fight will happen. I’ve heard what Eddie has said. They’re either going to agree to it or not. If they don’t agree to it then the fight won’t happen," Warren told BoxNation.

“Tyson signed for the fight back in January; the fight was supposed to happen in September. They were supposed to have a warm-up fight in September; unfortunately, there was that terrible, tragic accident that ‘AJ’ was in where he lost two of his best friends, and that held everything up, but the fight I understand, will be November, and the venue will be announced in due course.”

UFC president Dana White also agrees with Warren's claim, accepting that the fight will go where the money is.

Undeniably, that is in America, with millions of fans globally expected to tune into the fight on Netflix in what could be a record-breaking night for British boxing.

On the other hand, there is the possibility of the clash being pushed back to 2027 - if it is held in the UK - with both fighters needing to organise another warm-up fight for that to happen.
