Tyson Fury’s camp is demanding an immediate final decision on the long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua as venue talks drag on. Fury’s manager Spencer Brown warns delays are frustrating fans, with New York’s Madison Square Garden replacing Wembley as the leading option.
The clock is ticking. Tyson Fury is ready to launch his training camp, but he still does not have a confirmed date or venue for the heavyweight clash against Anthony Joshua.
Wembley Stadium was the dream target for the British showdown. That dream is almost dead. Now, Madison Square Garden in New York is leading the race. A move across the Atlantic would give streaming giant Netflix a massive Friday night prime-time broadcast in the United States. But moving the fight requires a fresh deal. Joshua signed up for a UK event, giving promoter Eddie Hearn serious leverage in contract talks.
Spencer Brown is publicly pressing all parties to sign on the dotted line before Fury loses precious preparation time. Speaking to Sky Sports Boxing, Brown admitted his confidence is dropping. He said: “Everybody’s got a bit of doubt in their mind. There’s reasons you could think that. If you’d asked me a week ago, I’d have said no, but now it’s a little bit concerning that things haven’t progressed down the line,” Brown added: “We need to get this fight on.”
Fans are losing patience. The hype is rapidly turning into pure frustration.
This isn’t a peak title fight anymore. It is a massive, lucrative farewell blockbuster between two aging former world champions. The pay-day will be huge, but contract bickering is killing the buzz. Brown insists location does not matter to the Gypsy King’s team anymore. He stated: “A decision must be made. Let’s get the fight on wherever it is, whether it’s in Timbuktu or whether it’s in Wembley Stadium,” Brown warned: “We just want to get it announced. People are getting bored. We’re in danger of really boring people.” Fury’s team is standing by to start camp immediately. They just need the green light that everyone promised.
