Carl Froch has blasted plans for a potential 2:00am start if Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's bout is held in the United Kingdom.
The heavyweight pair's long-awaited super-fight is expected to have a venue and date locked after their impending tune-up tests.
Contracts reportedly insisted on a British host, only for powerbrokers to seemingly revise their stance for a bumper stateside audience.
That has led to suggestions the fight could be held in the early hours of the morning - a move which Froch remains utterly baffled by.
"I don’t know why they are worried too much about the American audience," the ex-super-middleweight star said on Froch on Fighting.
"It is a British fight, with two British fighters. It needs to be on British soil at Wembley Stadium or wherever at a reasonable hour.
“In the middle of November, it is going to be freezing cold. I feel like [His excellency] Turki Alalshikh may be putting together an excuse.
"If they are going to try and accomodate [it] for American television, then it might as well be over in America."
Multiple suggestsions have been made about taking Fury-Joshua overseas, with the United States and Saudi Arabia both mooted options.
Another could be to take the fight to Cardiff's Principality Stadium, which possesses a retractable roof design and would be protected against the autumn elements.
