The most-awaited heavyweight battle between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is finally locked in with an official date and venue onboard. Following several reports and rumors, WBC champion, Fury, has announced that the unification clash will take place on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.

While the undefeated heavyweight is spending his days in the USA, he took time to turn to social media and give fans the latest update about this bout. Per Fury, he had received a call from the Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia who confirmed that the heavyweight fight will go ahead in just under three months.

He has also sent a message to Anthony Joshua, vowing to “smash” him when they collide inside the ring.

Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has remained silent on the issue. While Tyson Fury and the matchmakers have made a lot of noise in recent times, ‘AJ’ hasn’t entered the mix. Hence, the official confirmation can now urge him to appear on the mic.

The All-English clash will settle the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, a tag last held by Lennox Lewis. While Tyson Fury holds the WBC belt, Anthony Joshua has the WBA, WBO, IBF, and titles. Thus, their upcoming fight will bring all the straps under one roof.

Both men are currently in their prime and have staged sensational wins in their last appearances. Fury became the WBC titleholder by vanquishing Deontay Wilder via TKO in February 2020. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua defended his unified belts by stopping Kubrat Pulev in a showdown in December.
