Fury-Joshua reportedly set to snub Wembley for New York showdown

DAZN
Williamson vs. Simpson 2 live on DAZN - Saturday

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's long-awaited bout looks set to be held in New York City, ending hopes of a British face-off.

The duo's heavyweight encounter was originally set to take place on home turf after contracts were originally rubber-stamped.

But plans by powerbrokers to capture a major American broadcast audience mean the duo will now head stateside instead.

Fury and Joshua are expected to meet in NYC, per Boxing Scene, with a November date anticipated for their major showdown.

It means the biggest all-British domestic bout of a generation will take place overseas, ending a prolonged period of uncertainty.

The destination and date of the fight have been one of the leading stories of the year, played out in a slew of protracted arguments.

Zuffa supremo Dana White and Matchroom Boxing boss Eddie Hearn have clashed multiple times over the details of the clash.

Fury and Joshua, meanwhile, fought tune-up bouts on opposite sides of the world in July against Mariusz Wach and Kristian Prenga.

Their long-awaited encounter, mooted on several occasions but never made, has long been seen as one of the sport's biggest fights.

Both two-time heavyweight champions, each man will hope to secure a marquee victory that can help settle a long-running rivalry.

NYC move spawns outrage and heartbreak

DAZN News correspondent Andrew Steel

It has felt like the writing may have been on the wall for some time - but it appears the Big Apple awaits Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

The British duo will contest the biggest domestic fight of a generation - perhaps of all time - on foreign soil to meet powerbroker demands.

Whichever way you cut this piece of the pie, there are arguably only a select few players who will leave the table delighted with their work here.

For the thousands - nay, millions - of fight fans back home across the North Atlantic though, the move to New York City is a depressing blow.

Hopes of a glorious night with close to six figures at Wembley Stadium - noise, blood, thunder, the whole sandwich - are now dust in the wind.

If any rematch comes to pass, it must come home. Anything less could be - perhaps rightly - considered a travesty and tragedy for British boxing.
