- British pair expected to meet in Jeddah on either 7 or 14 August
- ‘People are getting frustrated’, admits Eddie Hearn over delays
Eddie Hearn has insisted there is “no reason” why Anthony Joshua’s world heavyweight unification showdown with Tyson Fury will not be finalised this week, with the fight expected to take place in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on either 7 or 14 August.
Hearn’s pronouncement came after Joshua expressed his frustration at the lack of a deal, saying on social media that he was “tired” of waiting before demanding “less talk, more action”. Fury then responded by calling his rival a “big ugly dosser” and suggesting he was “no talk, no action”.
