However, according to Bob Arum, the fight not actually happen altogether. Arum, who happens to be Fury’s co-promoter, has revealed that they haven’t heard from the managing director of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, in over two weeks.
Per Michael Benson, he said, “If I had to bet whether the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight would happen or not, I’d say no… As far as I can see, this whole thing with Eddie and [Saudi Arabia] is just a mirage… Eddie’s out of time, Eddie hasn’t talked to us for two weeks.”

Heran wants to complete a site deal and book the fight in Saudi Arabia. The huge revenue generated from the rematch between AJ and Andy Ruiz Jr. has prompted him to make this move. But according to Arum, that might actually be a ‘mirage’.
