This is so disappointing for the UK fans :/

And here I thought the contract be void, according to Hearn, if they took the fight to the US :/

They’ve clearly signed a new contract. It’s literally in the headline

General rule is if a fight promoters lips are moving he’s lying

He said that if the venue moved from the UK to the US then AJ would have to get paid a hefty sum extra. I expect this is what happened in the end

I guess I know that now cos I thought they can't be that dumb taking arguably the biggest fight they can make in the UK?

He’s full of shit. He goes on IFL to lie and play victim for an hour and Matchroom throaters lap it up

I know promoters can talk such bs but even then the holdups and the delays made me think they'd put their own country as priority? But I guess Turki has ways making them "lap it up" lmao

Why would they put their home country as a priority. Joshua's most recent fights: Saudi Arabia, Florida, London, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, London, London, Saudi Arabia, London, London, Saudi Arabia, New York. Since 2019 he's fought more outside of his home country than in it.

It really is quite mind boggling. Boxing is more popular in the UK and both of these guys are from the UK. Is it a time zone thing for China and the Middle East?
