| Joshua won back the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in his rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr which Hearn promoted in Saudi Arabia |
However, a specific date and venue have not been decided.
The group managing director of Matchroom Sport confirmed to
SkySports the fight would be either on the 7th of August or 14th of August
somewhere in Saudi Arabia.
“It’s a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi
Arabia,” Hearn told Sky Sports.
He added they were working with the “same people” as they
did for Joshua’s rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr.
“We’re very comfortable. Anthony’s comfortable, he knows
those people,” added Hearn.
“They delivered on every one of their promises last time.
We’re ready to go.”
This year’s rescheduled Tokyo Olympics are set to finish on
8 August, so Hearn said 14 August made more sense but that he hoped to secure
the date and venue in the next few days.
Hearn announced that a two-fight deal between Joshua and
Fury, 32, had been agreed in March after months of negotiations.
The fight will see all four belts contested in a heavyweight
bout for the first time.
