Eddie Hearn claims TKO Group Holdings is the reason behind the
\nroadblocks in the Tyson
\nFury<\/a>–Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a> saga.<\/p>\n

Fury vs. Joshua was targeted for November, but the location remains
\na major sticking point. Joshua\u2019s side wants the fight in Britain,
\nwhile Fury\u2019s camp has pushed for Madison Square Garden in New York
\nCity. This has left the sides deadlocked, with Hearn levying the
\nblame on TKO.<\/p>\n

Hearn says TKO’s New York push is keeping the Fury-Joshua fight
\nfrom being finalized<\/h2>\n

Speaking to DAZN following Katie Taylor’s retirement fight
\nSaturday, Hearn claimed TKO recently approached Joshua directly,
\nencouraging him to accept the fight for New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday [Friday], TKO went around the back again to try and
\noffer Joshua money to do the fight in America,\u201d Hearn said. \u201cIt\u2019s a
\ndirty, dirty game, mate, to be honest with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearn insisted Joshua remains committed to fighting in Britain and
\nargued that the support behind that position has only strengthened
\nthe boxer’s resolve. He insisted that the appeal of staging the
\nfight in Britain goes beyond business considerations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they [TKO] had never gotten involved in the first place, the
\nfight would already be announced and signed,\u201d Hearn added. \u201cThey
\nare the ones that are basically saying to British fight fans, \u2018We
\ndon\u2019t give a f*ck. We don\u2019t care about British fight fans. We want
\nto do the fight in America.\u2019 It\u2019s pushing the fight farther away
\nbecause of their behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
