World-renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says the world heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will take place in Saudi Arabia.

The venue and the date is yet to be confirmed, but Hearn suggested that it could take place on either 7th or 14th August.

He added that they were working with the "same people" as they did for Joshua's rematch against Andy Ruiz Jr.

Joshua, won back the WBA, WBO and IBF belts by beating Ruiz in Diriyah, on the outskirts of the Saudi capital Riyadh, in December 2019.

He had lost the titles in a shock defeat in June that same year.
