Tyson Fury Is Already Training in Miami as Tensions Grow Over His Fight With Anthony Joshua

Doubts Over Fury vs. Joshua Begin to Clear

The fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is gaining momentum again after several days of uncertainty. Although the highly anticipated showdown between the two British heavyweights appeared to be on track for November, a dispute over the venue led Fury himself to cast doubt on whether the fight would take place.

Now, Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, is attempting to ease those concerns and insists that the showdown will ultimately go ahead. According to comments reported by Sky Sports, the promoter believes there are still contractual differences that need to be resolved, but he remains confident that all parties will reach an agreement.

The main issue does not appear to be the fighters' willingness to face each other, but rather where the fight will take place. While Wembley was initially expected to host the event, the possibility of moving the spectacle to the United States has created friction between the teams involved.

Tyson Fury Is Already in Miami and Has Begun Training

While negotiations continue, Tyson Fury is already in Miami, a sign Warren considers particularly important when assessing the current state of the project. The promoter confirmed that the former world champion has already begun preparing for his return to the ring, despite there still being no definitive announcement regarding the venue.

He also believes Turki Alalshikh will announce the final details soon and that the issues between Matchroom and Joshua's team will eventually be resolved.

The fight is expected to take place in November, although Warren warned that several dates are still being discussed. In other words, until all parties give their final approval, the fight cannot officially be considered finalized.

Wembley Was the Dream, but the United States Is Gaining Ground

Fury and Joshua are two of the biggest names British boxing has produced in recent decades, making a showdown between them at Wembley seem like the ideal setting.

Warren acknowledged that both fighters and the fans would probably prefer London. However, he explained that the commercial interests of the organizers and broadcaster are playing a decisive role.

According to the promoter, the amount of money involved could be decisive in moving the fight to the United States. The involvement of major commercial partners and the potential for a global audience now make the U.S. the leading candidate to host the event.

Fury vs. Joshua and the Ali-Foreman Precedent

Warren also wanted to put the debate into perspective by pointing out that major boxing fights do not always end up taking place in the home country of their protagonists.

As an example, he cited the historic showdown between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, two major American stars who ultimately faced each other in Zaire in 1974. The decision raised questions at the time, but the fight went down in history as one of the most important sporting events of all time.
