Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn has shut down Bob Arum’s recent claims about the Tyson Fury–Anthony Joshua fight. The promoter claimed that talks are going on well, but there has been no confirmation for a venue.

Arum claimed that the fight was closer than ever. However, Hearn was having none of it and gave a list of destinations still in play.

Speaking to iFL TV, Hearn commented on the issue. “Certainly, no location is secured… There’s been multiple offers. We haven’t got too deep into that yet because we want to get the deal done.”

Hearn explained that they are not even approaching potential venues as of now. He said that until there is an agreement between the fighters, it makes no sense to approach venues for an agreement. 

This could worry fans, as many welcomed the news from Arum with great excitement. However, Hearn’s comments showed that there is still a long way to go.
