Matchroom Boxing's CEO has highlighted a problem in the ongoing talks between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, with their super-fight at risk of collapsing.
This year, British heavyweights Joshua and Fury signed to fight each other at long last, five years after they previously signed a deal that fell through. Once again, however, a problem has arisen.
Joshua's contract is for a clash in the UK, while Fury's contract is flexible on location. Fury and certain key figures are pushing for a 20 November showdown in New York City, while "AJ" is digging in his heels in hopes of boxing at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester United found a workaround and announced a MULTI-MILLION sponsor on its training kit.
In 2023, Premier League clubs jointly decided to BAN betting companies from the main match uniform.
The rule, however, said nothing about training kits... United took advantage of that loophole and announced BetWay this Tuesday (4).
According to European media outlets, the deal will bring in £20 million (R$ 137.6 million) for the English giant.
As a result, Manchester United now has the most valuable training kit in world football.

Manchester United have announced a new multi-year training kit sponsorship agreement with Betway, which the club claims is the largest of its kind in global football.
While the specific financial terms of the deal have not been officially disclosed, reports suggest that Super Group, the parent company of the Betway brand, will contribute an estimated £20 million per season.
This substantial investment will see the Betway logo prominently displayed on the training kits for both United's men's and women's teams, as well as around Old Trafford and the Progress with Unity Stadium on matchdays.
The agreement follows a period last season where United operated without a training kit partner, after their previous arrangement with blockchain platform Tezos concluded.

Manchester United have announced a new multi-year training kit sponsorship deal with Betway which the club say is the biggest of its kind in world football.
United have not disclosed the terms of the deal but Super Group, which owns the Betway brand, will reportedly pay £20 million ($26.8 million) per season to have their logo on the training kit of both United's men's and women's teams, as well as around Old Trafford and the Progress with Unity Stadium on matchdays.
United went without a training kit partner last season after the expiry of their agreement with blockchain platform Tezos in June 2025, but their return to the Champions League has allowed them to secure more lucrative terms than might otherwise have been available.
The new deal for the training kit sponsorship comes into effect at the same time as new Premier League regulations that prevent gambling companies from appearing on the front of matchday shirts from next season.
Announcing the deal, United's chief business officer Marc Armstrong said: "We are delighted to welcome Betway as official principal partner.

Manchester United have announced a multi-year partnership with Betway, making the brand the club's new official training kit sponsor and exclusive global betting partner in a record-breaking deal. Michael Carrick is at Old Trafford.
The agreement, valued at £20 million per year, is understood to be the most lucrative standalone training apparel or shirt sleeve sponsorship in world football history. Having operated without a designated training wear sponsor last season, securing this agreement represents a significant commercial triumph for the Old Trafford hierarchy.
The announcement arrives at a pivotal moment for both the club and the broader football sponsorship landscape. With Premier League regulations set to ban gambling companies from appearing as front-of-shirt sponsors starting from the 2026/27 season, betting operators have shifted focus toward secondary commercial inventory—with training kit branding emerging as a primary battleground for global visibility. By securing Betway across their training apparel and digital footprint, United have successfully navigated the upcoming regulatory restrictions while maximising their commercial revenue streams.
Under the terms of the deal, Betway branding will feature prominently across all men's and women's first-team training wear, warm-up gear, and coaching staff apparel. Additionally, as Manchester United's exclusive global betting partner, Betway gains extensive co-branding rights across digital channels, LED perimeter boards at Old Trafford, and international fan engagement campaigns.
The fresh injection of £20 million in annual commercial revenue comes alongside broader financial stabilisation at Old Trafford under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. Coupled with income generated by returning to the UEFA Champions League, the expanded financial capacity gives manager Michael Carrick crucial flexibility as he builds his squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Steffen Freund has seen enough of the Bundesliga to know that knocking Bayern Munich down from its current perch is going to be extremely difficult, even for an established club like Borussia Dortmund.
To make it happen, Freund says that those select few clubs in Germany who can be considered true competitors to the Bavarians are simply going to have to beat Bayern Munich to signing young talent — and then developing it into a formidable contender to the crown.
“At the moment, no. I still think Bayern will grow, and they’re not finished. You can feel that under Kompany, they want to win the Champions League now. They’ve won the double, and they’re unstoppable in Germany. Now they will go for the Champions League, and you can feel the hunger. So, it will be difficult to catch Bayern because their style of football is too good. The players individually are too good, and they’re sticking together as a team. Kompany has built a team with so much individual class that they still work hard together,” Freund told Betway. “But take Borussia Dortmund as an example, as they are the closest team to Bayern in Germany. They need to sign two or three good players to make the next step. I’m not saying they can spend like Premier League teams, but they are close, and they don’t have to go only for a real youngster for €1m or €2m.
“That’s why I think you need a really good scouting system to find the likes of (Erling) Haaland and Jadon Sancho again. But Borussia Dortmund’s academy also has great players like Samuele Inacio. Maybe he will make the step-up next season, but you have to find a balance. If you find the players that want to grow with the club and enjoy the Dortmund atmosphere, then maybe they can get a little bit closer to Bayern. But even then, that may mean you have to sell him anyway because he is too good. So overall, it’s a difficult situation for all the clubs in Germany behind Bayern Munich.”
Is Freund correct…or is there another way for other Bundesliga clubs to take down the Bavarians?
