OFFICIAL: Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Has a Fight Date and Venue
The most-awaited heavyweight battle between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is finally official with a date on board. Following several reports and rumors, WBC champion Fury has announced the unification clash to take place on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.
While the undefeated heavyweight is spending his days in the USA, he took time to turn to social media and sent a stern message. Per Fury, he had received a call from the Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia and seems prepared to fight ‘AJ’.
He has also sent a message to his upcoming rival/unified titlist Anthony Joshua and vowed to “smash” him when they collide inside the ring.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has seemingly remained silent on the issue. While Tyson Fury and the matchmakers have made a lot of noise in recent times, ‘AJ’ didn’t enter the mix. Hence, the official confirmation can now urge him to appear on the mic.
