The unification match of the World Heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury has been confirmed for the 14th of August.
Joshua will put his WBO, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles on the line against Fury who has the WBC belt.
World renown boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says both fighters have agreed on the date and the venue for the fight.
He says they are in discussion with the Saudi Arabian officials in having overseas fans attend the match.
Speaking to BBC Sports, Hearn says they may have precautions in place, whether that is vaccine-related or testing but they aim to attract overseas travellers.
He says the Saudi organisers are eyeing the capital city Riyadh or Jeddah to play host and that they intend to build an outdoor arena, as they did for Joshua's rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019.
