Eddie Hearn says he and Anthony Joshua are not confirming the much-anticipated Tyson Fury vs. Joshua fight because of a dispute linked to the United States. In interviews, Hearn acknowledges that the negotiations are moving toward a U.S. location, with New York City described as a possible venue. However, he also states that Joshua and his team continue to endorse a domestic (U.K.) venue and are working toward agreement that reflects that preference. The accounts portray the situation as ongoing: while the fight’s location appears increasingly likely to shift toward the U.S., Hearn argues that confirmation is being held back until the underlying issues in the U.S. negotiations are resolved. Across the two reports, the central points are that the bout has not been formally confirmed, that Hearn attributes the delay to an American dispute, and that despite the growing focus on New York, Joshua’s camp still supports staging the event domestically. Both sources present Hearn’s remarks as an update on the negotiation status rather than a finalized decision on location.
