Turki Alalshikh Reveals Key Condition For Anthony Joshua Vs Tyson Fury At Wembley
Turki Alalshikh says the all-British heavyweight clash can happen in England only if officials allow a late-night start for global TV audiences.
- On Monday, Turki Alalshikh confirmed the Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury heavyweight bout could occur at Wembley Stadium, provided London officials authorize a late-night start to accommodate global broadcast audiences.
- Reports in recent weeks suggested the fight might shift to Las Vegas, as broadcaster Netflix seeks to maximize its American audience; Alalshikh emphasized the priority is "the time and the viewership."
- Before the main event, Joshua faces Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, while Fury meets Mariusz Wach in Thailand on July 24; both interim bouts must conclude successfully for the Wembley clash to proceed.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn stated Joshua's contract stipulates a UK venue but acknowledged he would renegotiate because Alalshikh is "paying the bill," and he wants the fight to happen regardless of location.
- Alalshikh is consulting Prince Abdullah and London mayors to secure curfew adjustments, citing Ricky Hatton's 2005 Manchester fight as precedent for accommodating American television schedules.
