Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are expected to face off in an all-British heavyweight fight at Wembley Stadium.

The much anticipated fight appears certain to happen if Fury prevails against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 in Riyadh.

Additionally, Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum is optimistic that the super bout will take place in London as opposed to Saudi Arabia.

He said: “The Saudis also, with having all this money, who can dictate the place, are very intelligent and they would, I think, like nothing more than to do that fight in Wembley with 95,000 people where they were the promoters.

“I think that would do more for their image than doing that fight – Fury and Joshua – in Saudi. But that’s up to them. That’s what I feel in talking to them briefly about the future.”

Joshua may still have to wait to fight Fury since the latter may have to fight a double header against his opponent from Ukraine.

“Looking at Tyson Fury, if he beats Usyk and fights Usyk again and beats him and then does a massive fight hopefully in the UK at Wembley Stadium,” he told Sky Sports, “that would really put an exclamation point to his great career.

“But let’s not put the cart before the horse. May 18 is an awfully competitive, really competitive heavyweight championship fight for all the marbles. He will give Tyson Fury everything Tyson can handle.

“I really believe from the reports I get that Tyson has really buckled down and is training very, very hard for this.”
