Joshua v Fury proposed clash gets global interest
London: A fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship, one contested between two British fighters, might not even take place in the UK.
A high-stakes and lucrative showdown between the hulking WBA, WBO, and IBF world champion Anthony Joshua and the technicallyadept WBC heavyweight world titleholder Tyson Fury could happen in 2021.
But where it takes place remains unclear because the fight is so big, those involved in making it are expecting global offers.
“That fight will have global interest from sites all around the world,” Frank Smith, the CEO of Matchroom Boxing — the firm which represents Joshua — told Insider recently.
