Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua: Date, venue, broadcaster confirmed for long-awaited heavyweight showdown

The all-British heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been confirmed.

An announcement has been delayed due to a late push to hold the fight in the United States in order to maximise the worldwide television audience.

However, having signed a contract for the bout to take place in the United Kingdom, Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn held firm over their position.

Despite suggestions from Fury that Joshua did not want the fight and that he was searching for alternative opponents, reports emerged earlier this month that a middle ground had been found between the relevant parties.

On Thursday afternoon, Joshua took to social media to confirm that a deal for a fight between the two former heavyweight champions had been finalised.

Rather than the traditional Saturday night, Fury and Joshua are scheduled to square off on a Friday.

At this point in time, there has been no confirmation over the time of the ringwalks, but they could be later than normal for a British fight night in order to accommodate an American television audience.
