Overview
- Frank Warren says the two fighters have signed and the bout is targeted for late November provided both win their scheduled warm-up fights.
- Turki Alalshikh has asserted a central role in promotion while Dana White has hinted Zuffa Boxing may be involved and Eddie Hearn has denied Zuffa's participation and cited contractual UK protections.
- No venue has been confirmed and industry reports have floated U.S. sites such as Las Vegas, the MGM Grand and SoFi Stadium while Alalshikh says he has not decided the location.
- Queensberry says it will co-promote with Alalshikh and existing promoter and streaming ties to Matchroom, Warren and DAZN complicate who can formally stage or stream the event.
- The next concrete steps are the fighters' tune-ups — Anthony Joshua is due to fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 and Fury has a recent April return and a potential August fight — after which promoters expect to make a formal announcement.
