"Bombazo", as it looks in Spain: Tyson Fury (WBC world champion) has announced the date of the reunification fight that will oppose him to Anthony Joshua, holder of the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts.
It will be August 14, just after the Olympics.
The fight will take place in Saudi Arabia.
“Huge announcement, Fury vs. Joshua is scheduled for August 14 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The biggest sporting event in the world, all eyes (will be) on us, "tweeted the" King of the Gypsies "on his official account.
The announcement is accompanied by a video where Fury says to himself "impatient, I repeat, impatient to crush Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all time".
Half a surprise
“This will be the biggest sporting event Earth has ever had the chance to host.
Don't miss it!
Added Fury, with his usual verve.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn had already greatly fan the suspense on Tuesday by indicating that the fight would take place on August 7 or 14 in Saudi Arabia.
It is therefore ultimately the second date that was chosen.
Surely to avoid competition from the Olympics.
Or to shade it.
