Also, just when everything seemed on track for this fight, Eddie Hearn recently highlighted another issue that’s popping up.

Speaking to iFL TV, he said, “Yeah I mean, Dillian lives in Portugal, so that’s one of the issues but the other one I saw, Chris McKenna is that Tyson Fury is applying to box for the fight as a foreign boxer or something.”

“I was in this. It was in the papers, one Chris McKenna. So he has to apply. He doesn’t have a British Boxing Board of Control license, doesn’t want to apply for one, so he has to apply to fight as a foreign fighter, which is another process.”

Tyson Fury‘s last few fights have been in the US. That said, this fight will be more of a homecoming for ‘The Gypsy King’ because he last fought in the UK in 2018 against Francesco Pianeta.
