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.
