There were speculations about the exact venue of the most anticipated fight between Fury and Usyk. The promoter tried to give clarification about the site where the showdown will take place.

However, the promoter said, “There’s a group of us who would love the fight to be in Wembley but again, if there’s another site in the Middle East, we have to consider it, because if you are representing fighters, they have a very limited career. Like Frank [Warren] said, the first fight I did with him was 38 years ago, these fighters don’t have 38 years.”
