Eddie Hearn, promoter of Anthony Joshua, has admitted that he and Joshua are still resisting the move of their potential showdown against Tyson Fury to New York City, despite growing pressure for the fight to take place in the United States (independent.co.uk). The bout, which could be a historic British super-fight, remains under consideration for a domestic venue, with Hearn and Joshua advocating for a British location.
Meanwhile, the British boxing scene continues to buzz with speculation about who holds the ultimate authority in the heavyweight division. Moses Itauma, set to challenge for the vacant IBF world title against Filip Hrgovic, is positioned as a potential contender to face either the winner of the Joshua-Fury clash or Daniel Dubois, who is preparing for a rematch (thesun.co.uk). This highlights the ongoing competition for supremacy within British boxing.
Tyson Fury, meanwhile, remains focused on his upcoming bout against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, which is expected to be the first undisputed heavyweight world title fight in over two decades (manchestereveningnews.co.uk). The fight, set to take place in the UK, could further elevate the profile of British boxing ahead of potential international showdowns.
The Joshua-Fury rivalry continues to dominate headlines, with both fighters and their camps navigating logistical and strategic challenges to determine the ultimate venue for their long-awaited clash.
