The current WBC heavyweight boxing champion Briton Tyson Fury and WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belt holder Anthony Joshua will fight on August 14. This was announced by journalist Michael Benson in his “Twitter“, citing several sources. Earlier it was reported that the fight will take place in Saudi Arabia.
Multiple reports suggesting August 14th is the likely date for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, with fight set to be officially announced this coming week. That date would be after the conclusion of the Olympics and so allow Rob McCracken to be present for both.
