Eddie Hearn has poured cold water on rumours that a fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could take place in the United Kingdom.
Fury is set to face Deontay Wilder on February 22, in their rematch. Then he will probably face Joshua.
He said: "
Imagine having that fight, at Tottenham? That would be phenomenal. I’m supporting Fury [in his upcoming fight with Deontay Wilder ] because imagine the local kids being able to watch the undisputed championship fight on their doorstep. I’d love it to be here in the UK."
"But do you think I can go up to the guys and say, 'you can make £150m each to do it in Saudi or £40m in the UK?' It doesn't work like that. If it was the difference of £10m each that’s different, but it’s not, it’s double to go somewhere else, and it can’t be ignored. Especially with a fight like that, it’s a one-off."
