Fury-Joshua Fight Unstoppable, Declares Promoter Hearn

August 23, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Promoter Eddie Hearn insists that no party can withdraw from the planned boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

Despite Tyson Fury's recent statement on Friday suggesting the fight might not materialize, Hearn, who manages Joshua, has affirmed that the bout will proceed as scheduled.

Hearn commented to DAZN, "We've signed the contract, and we're awaiting a date. You saw Tyson Fury making a lot of noise... there's no need for that; the fight is finalized."

"The fight is signed. No one has the ability to pull out. You cannot simply break a contract.

There is no indication that the fight is not happening, and nothing can prevent this match from taking place. The only scenario where it could be called off is if the contract is violated."

The confrontation between Fury and Joshua was anticipated to occur in November, promising to be one of the most significant events in British boxing history.

Joshua and his promoter, Hearn, have already signed an agreement for the fight to be held in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, Saudi organizers Sela are advocating for the event to take place in the United States.

Both Joshua and Fury have individual agreements with Sela. It is understood that Madison Square Garden in New York is Sela's preferred venue, allowing the fight, which will be broadcast on Netflix, to reach American audiences.

"We are aware that everyone involved in this fight desires it to take place in America. We, however, do not share that preference," Hearn added.

"We have communicated to Sela and their team that if they wish to proceed with the event in America, these are the terms under which we can move forward. However, we would ideally prefer it not to happen there."
