File: Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua
Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has threatened to call off the long-awaited grudge match between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury should organisers go ahead and announce the fight for New York without first agreeing to move the bout from the United Kingdom, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
No official announcement has yet been made for the fight, despite earlier reports that both men had signed contracts to face each other.
Fury returned to the ring for the second time this year when he squared off with Mariusz Wach, 46, in a low-key contest in Thailand, winning via seventh-round corner retirement, the night before Joshua made his own comeback.
In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, previously unknown contender Kristian Prenga twice floored Joshua in the opening round, only to be stopped himself in round two, a result that appeared to set up the Fury-Joshua showdown, which has been mooted to take place at Madison Square Garden in November.
