London Mayor Sadiq Khan has formally invited organizers to host the prospective heavyweight bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium. While Sela, the Saudi organizers, have established contact with the mayor’s office, stakeholders and broadcaster Netflix reportedly prefer staging the event at Madison Square Garden in New York this November.

Officials are currently weighing potential regulatory adjustments for the venue, while promoters aim to finalize a site and announce further details in the coming days.
