BOXING Eddie Hearn says Saudi Arabia plans to welcome overseas fans for the all-British world heavyweigh­t title showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

A date of August 14 has been pencilled in for the lucrative superfight, although the contest has yet to be officially confirmed by both sides.

The pair are set to contest all four world heavyweigh­t titles and Hearn’s comments open up the prospect of British fans travelling to the Gulf state in three months’ time.

“The Saudi plan is to allow internatio­nal travellers,”

Joshua’s promoter

Hearn said. “Pandemic permitting, I’d like to think by August you’d have the ability to travel to Saudi for this fight. They may have precaution­s in place, whether that’s vaccine related or testing.

“I’m sure all countries will adopt different policies worldwide. But their aim is to attract overseas travellers.”

Saudi Arabia’s capital city Riyadh or Jeddah are expected to play host as Joshua defends his WBO, WBA and IBF titles and Fury puts his WBC belt on the line.
