Tyson Fury challenges Anthony Joshua over venue for potential November fight

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remain in a contract stalemate regarding the location of their proposed heavyweight fight. While Madison Square Garden in New York is the current target for the bout, promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that the original agreement specified a venue within the United Kingdom. Hearn cited potential tax complications for Joshua in the United States as a factor affecting the potential move. Fury publicly denied rejecting any suggested venues and claimed he has agreed to fights in England, Ireland, and New York. Frustrated by the ongoing delays, Fury suggested he may abandon plans for the Joshua fight to pursue other opponents in November. He specifically identified Agit Kabayel, Filip Hrgovic, and Daniel Dubois as potential replacements if the deadlock persists. No formal date or location has been finalized for the matchup.
