Eddie Hearn is standing firm on where he believes Tyson Fury<\/a>
\nvs. Anthony
\nJoshua<\/a> should take place.<\/p>\n


\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> CEO and Zuffa Boxing co-founder
\nDana
\nWhite<\/a> recently claimed Hearn was preventing the fight from
\ncoming to fruition, citing disagreements over whether the bout
\nshould be held in the United Kingdom or the United States. Hearn
\nrecently addressed the same, revealing that he and Joshua remain
\nadamant that the fight takes place in the U.K.<\/p>\n

Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn double down on staging Tyson
\nFury fight in Britain<\/h2>\n

The Matchroom Boxing chairman has emphasized that the focus should
\nsimply be on honoring the existing agreement for the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cDana White has tried to get involved in a fight that he has
\nnothing to do with,\u201d Hearn told iFL TV. \u201cAll we have ever done is
\nsay, \u2018We\u2019ve signed our contract. Just honor the contract that we\u2019ve
\nsigned.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearn claimed Joshua was offered more money to move the fight to
\nthe U.S. but remained committed to staging the bout in Britain. He
\nbelieves public support for a U.K. venue has only strengthened
\nJoshua\u2019s stance and says discussions are now focused on moving
\nforward with the original plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony Joshua could have taken many millions more to do the fight
\nin America,\u201d Hearn added. \u201cWe want the fight in Britain. The
\nsupport that we\u2019ve had on social media, my social media, A.J.\u2019s
\nsocial media, has made us double down on our principles on this.
\nWe\u2019re not trying to hurt the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Principality Stadium in Cardiff has emerged as a leading U.K.
\noption, while Wembley has also been discussed. Ultimately, Hearn
\nemphasized that Joshua will make the final decision regarding the
\nfight\u2019s location.<\/p>\n
