Joshua-Fury fight hits snag

The all-British fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to become undisputed world heavyweight champion has hit a snag. Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, yesterday confirmed reports an arbitrator in the United States has ruled that Fury is contractually bound to fulfil a third fight with Deontay Wilder. That throws into doubt the proposed August 14 bout between Joshua, the WBA, IBF and WBO champion, and Fury, the WBC champion, that was expected to be held in Saudi Arabia. Hearn said he has given Fury’s team until the end of the week to come up with a solution, or he’ll turn to a “Plan B.”
