JAKARTA Wembley Stadium will almost certainly be the location for the boxing match of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in the fight for the heavyweight world title is undeniable.
Negotiations for the duel are currently ongoing. According to a number of reports, the fight between Fury and the rulers of the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO belts will be held on April 29.
Arab Suadi was previously included in the favorite location for this duel. However, Fury's promoter, Bob Arum, has confirmed the Middle Eastern country will not host the unification bout of the four heavyweight world championship belts.
"We want to have a fight at the Wembley stadium and we are getting closer to the negotiation process with Usyk and his promoters, K2, and Tyson," Arum told iD Boxing quoted by The Sun.
Certainty regarding this fight is planned to be announced next week. Saudi Arabia is now almost certainly crossed out because it cannot accommodate the fight according to the date set for April.
Arum said the money that could be generated from this duel in Saudi Arabia was not at all realistic. Fury and Usyk have even clashed over the income they will receive later.
"So hopefully we start busy taking care of the fight as early as next week and make things work," said Arum.
"We'd love to hold a press conference not only in London but also bring boxers to New York and hold a press conference in New York," he added.
If it goes up in the ring in London, Fury and Uysk will certainly get a smaller fee than the nominal offered in Saudi Arabia. Reportedly this is what makes this duel still a puzzle.
If the duel is canceled, Anthony Joshua is ready to take the opportunity against Fury, the opponent he has challenged after he lost his third career.
