Warren: No Venue Secured Yet for the Joshua vs. Fury Fight

Promoter Frank Warren has said that the venue and date for the highly anticipated super‑fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remain undecided.

Warren said he personally favors a UK venue, though Las Vegas has been widely speculated as a leading candidate because of Netflix’s broadcasting preference.

“I’d love it to take place in the UK. But as I’ve tried to explain to everybody, until that meeting [with all the parties] takes place I don’t think anything is going to be determined where it takes place [or] the date it takes place,” Frank Warren, Fury’s promoter, told Sky Sports.

“But whatever happens the fight is signed and it will happen. Because everyone wants it to happen.”

“Sela, who the contract’s with with Tyson, and I assume the same with AJ, they obviously have their preference where it will go. Netflix, who will broadcast it, they’re going to have their preference. At the end of the day everybody has got to agree and be satisfied.”

“My understanding is what his management said, and that is he is being promoted by Turki and by us. That’s how it is. I am very comfortable with that.”

“That is the position. Currently, our team is arranging an interim fight before he faces AJ in late November.”

Joshua will fight Kristian Prenga in a tune‑up bout in Jeddah on July 25, while Fury plans to return to the ring before facing Joshua.

After winning their respective warm‑up bouts, Fury and Joshua are expected to meet, possibly in November.
