Eddie Hearn said a contract signed about three months ago requires the proposed Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury fight to take place in Britain unless Joshua and Hearn agree to renegotiate, but the contract itself has not been published. [1]

One day after Joshua's comeback win established a result rather than his next fight, Hearn supplied a claim about location and consent as Joshua's promoter and an interested party, making this an attributed disclosure rather than independent verification of the contract.

Hearn called the deal legally binding and said Joshua's side insisted on Britain, while Joshua separately said the original road map pointed in practice to Wembley; Saudi boxing official Turki Alalshikh has considered a 2 a.m. British start, Madison Square Garden has entered venue discussion, and October or November remains an expectation rather than a fixed date. [1]

None of this amounts to a newly signed bout, because the commissioned record contains no public contract text, amendment, announced venue, scheduled date, disclosed purse, broadcast terms, or response from Fury's side, only Hearn's account of who must consent before relocation.

Promotion wants a map and calendar, but the evidence supplies only a gate: unless Joshua's side agrees otherwise, the proposed fight stays in Britain, with every venue and date still awaiting records beyond an interested promoter's account.
