Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, has confirmed that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have both reached an agreement on the venue of their world undisputed heavyweight title fight this summer.

Following months of a lengthy negotiation, both parties finally reached an agreement to stage a two-fight deal ahead of the most anticipated blockbuster bout last month.

There were a number of venues line up for selection but the confirmation was made on Tuesday after Hearn met with WBC titleholder, Fury, as the world awaits the announcement of the venue.

Speaking to Behind The Gloves, Hearn said: “Both sides have approved the site offer that they want to go with, and now we’re just finalising the site deal and we’re in a great place.

“I saw Tyson yesterday. I just messaged him and said, ‘I’m in Vegas, I’m in your hotel if you fancy a cuppa’.

“We just had five or 10 minutes together and it was good, because I don’t represent Tyson Fury, so I don’t know what is in his mind. What he basically cemented in my mind was, this is the only fight he wants, and I know that’s the same with AJ.

“It just good to say, right we’ve got the offer, we all approve. We’re moving forward now. We’re good.

“It has been agreed by both sides, the option that we will take, and you’ll get the date very soon and the official announcement.”

“One hundred per cent,” he said. “That’s the thing. Everybody wants this fight as soon as possible.

“There is no option for this fight to go at the back end of the year, and I’ve made that clear. The hardest thing about securing the site is in this world we live in today, most people would like to kick it to November, December. That’s not available. It was never available.

“What was available was a summer fight for the undisputed world heavyweight championship. That is what you’re going to get. Both guys want two fights this year. One will be in the summer and one will be in December.”
