The heavyweight mega-clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has already seen enough turmoils. However, it doesn’t seem to be over yet. While Eddie Hearn has constantly insisted that he will stage the fight this year, Bob Arum has seemed pessimistic about Saudi Arabia playing host to the event.

In a conversation with The Telegraph, Arum expressed his dissent over the entire delay in making the fight. Despite that, the title unification plans have apparently received a lifeline. Both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua seem eager to fight each other and have reportedly signed the contracts.

Hence, a site deal in Saudi Arabia is expected to be over by this week. Combat Reporter Mike Coppinger revealed the news via social media, sending several fans into a frenzy. As reported, the deal will be more than $150 million, which will bring the fight to Riyadh.

Meanwhile, both the champions have had their appearances in Saudi Arabia. Anthony Joshua reclaimed his lost titles against Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019 at a sensational event in Riyadh. While it was one of the biggest wins in his career, Joshua is not new to the nation.

Before his electrifying victory against Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury took the massive step and entered the WWE circle against Braun Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel in 2019 in Saudi Arabia.

While many cited it as a wrong move, Fury bagged a massive payday and beat Strowman. A few months later, he became the first man to beat ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and added the WBC crown under his name.

The heavyweight division has several mandatory challengers waiting for their shot at the world title. So, Fury vs Joshua will have several replacements to slide in. However, fans and the entire boxing world have expected to see the British champions lock horns.

So, it is likely the fight to make at any cost. All the heavyweight titles will be up for grabs, and the matchup can have several possible outcomes. Although the undefeated Tyson Fury will be the favorite over Joshua, ‘AJ’ will still have his chances.
