Will Tyson Fury fight Anthony Joshua if he wins? Speaking to SunSport, chairman of Matchroom Sport Barry Hearn said that they “have got a contract” for a fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua this year. AJ has been represented by Matchroom and Eddie Hearn, Barry’s son, since his professional debut. However, Hearn went on to say that since Turki Alalshikh is funding the fight, he has no control over where it will take place. “Who knows what Turki Alalshikh has in his mind. “Of course we want it at Wembley and we’ve got a contract that says it will be in the UK. “But with someone like Turki Alalshikh, contracts don’t really mean anything because, at the end of the day, we might as well just admit it – he’s running the show. He’s paying the bills. Most read in Sport “Money dictates in boxing where you go, who you fight. It’s the only thing. “This guy has come along with money that the fight game has never seen before.” Tyson Fury vs Mariusz Wach - all the info Tyson Fury goes punch-for-punch with Mariusz Wach in Thailand Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga - all the info Anthony Joshua faces Kristian Prenga in his huge comeback fight Joshua has also commented on the potential fight to DAZN. Fury is expected to make the 4,000 mile trip from Thailand to Saudi Arabia after his fight to watch AJ’s clash against Prenga. AJ said: “If he wants to come in the ring when I win July 25th, feel welcome. Come into my territory. “I’m the landlord. I’m going to welcome you into my home. You don’t welcome me into your home. “I’ve been in that position before where I’ve signed contracts with Fury. “So, I didn’t play into the games. I’m not there for games. If the contract was signed, I would have got in the ring. “I was there on a scouting mission. I want to see what my future opponents are going to look like. I saw a lot. “I saw some good. I saw some vulnerabilities in there.” Despite the contracts reportedly being signed, there is still no date or venue confirmed for the huge Battle of Britain. Turki Alalshikh has said he is open to hosting it in the UK but only at a later start time to accommodate a US audience. This would mean that Joshua and Fury could be fighting at 2am in the UK, which London does not have the licensing for – however, Cardiff does.
