Saudi Promoter Plans for Fury vs. Joshua Mega-Fight at Wembley Stadium
Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh has set his sights on hosting the long-awaited mega-fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September. This news has sparked excitement and speculation among boxing fans, with many hoping to see the two British fighters face off on home soil.
Alalshikh’s plan to stage the fight in the UK is a gift for British fans, who have been eagerly awaiting this matchup. It would also be a smart move commercially, as it would attract a larger audience and generate more revenue compared to hosting the fight in Saudi Arabia.
However, time is of the essence for Alalshikh to make this fight happen. Fury’s recent fight against Francis Ngannou showed signs of physical decline, and it’s important to capitalize on this matchup before it’s too late. Alalshikh must pull the trigger on this fight now, as Fury could potentially lose to someone else if he waits any longer.
There is a potential roadblock in the form of IBF/WBA/WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk, who is set to face Fury on May 18th. If Usyk were to defeat Fury, it would make the Fury-Joshua fight less appealing. However, even with a potential loss, British fans would still be eager to see the fight, making it a worthwhile event for Alalshikh to pursue.
Some may argue that Fury’s recent fight against Ngannou was a defeat, and it’s clear that his current fighting style involving mauling and roughhouse tactics won’t be effective against Usyk’s athleticism. Therefore, it may be in Alalshikh’s best interest to cancel the Fury-Usyk fight and go straight to the Joshua matchup in September.
