Eddie Hearn says the current agreement for a Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight means the bout must be staged in the United Kingdom. According to Hearn, the terms were signed around three months ago and set the framework for where the long-awaited heavyweight contest should take place.
The comments add a new layer to one of boxing’s most discussed potential matchups. Fury and Joshua have been linked for years, with fans repeatedly waiting for a fight between the two British rivals, and Hearn’s latest remarks suggest the venue issue is tied directly to the existing contract.
The venue question has remained a major talking point as interest from outside the UK continues to surround the event. Hearn’s position indicates that, under the present deal, any push to move the fight elsewhere would have to be measured against what was already agreed when the contract was signed.
For now, the focus remains on whether the current terms hold and if the fight can finally move forward under those conditions. If Hearn’s reading of the agreement stands, a Fury-Joshua showdown would be expected to land on British soil rather than at an overseas destination.
