But Netflix and the fight's Saudi Arabian backers want the all-British showdown held Stateside. Last month, Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn sent a list of demands they wanted met before they would agree to the switch.‌Those included an increase in Joshua's purse to compensate for the higher tax bill he will receive for facing Fury in the Big Apple. Joshua also insisted he be paid his full purse from his last win over Kristrian Prenga - which has now been done. Hearn now wants the rest of their requests agreed to by the end of the week, which could see the fight announced for November 20 at Madison Square Garden.‌"We're all good from the last fight, and we're all moving forward amicably," he said. "We don't want to do the fight in the US, but we also understand it has to work for everybody. We've been banging our head against the wall on that for the last two months."We've set out our position, mainly in concern to the tax situation that will deplete his net purse by going to America, which can be rectified. There's nothing unreasonable in there. If they want it in the US, they'll sign it. If not, we'll be very happy, and we'll do it in the UK.Article continues below"We're speaking multiple times a day, but we're running out of time. I mean, if you want to do the fight on November 20, and they're talking of a press conference next week, it's [already] Tuesday. But the ball's in their court. Our dream and our hope is they just turn around and go, ‘This is too messy, we'll just do it in Wembley.’ But they're adamant that they want the fight in America.”Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Tyson FuryEddie HearnAnthony JoshuaAnthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury
