Carl Froch demands Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight in UK
Former champion Carl Froch argues that the heavyweight bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury should be held on British soil rather than in the US.
Carl Froch has expressed his disapproval regarding the potential location for the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The former four-time super-middleweight world champion stated that the contest should take place in the United Kingdom.
While the matchup between the two-time heavyweight world champions has been discussed for nearly ten years, it is now approaching the end of their careers. There is growing speculation that the event could be hosted in New York, with Netflix pushing for a venue at Madison Square Garden.
Froch argued that holding the event in the United States would be unfair to supporters in Britain. He described the fight as an all-British matter and noted that it represents one of the most significant matchups in the history of British boxing.
Negotiations regarding the venue remain complicated. Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated he might cancel the fight if a venue is announced before he has the opportunity to renegotiate financial terms.
Although the bout was initially expected to occur in November, the timeline may shift. Ongoing discussions aimed at moving the fight to a British location could delay the event until early 2027.
