Discussions are taking place for a potential monumental heavyweight unification bout between champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, according to ESPN's Steve Kim. The fight would take place in Saudi Arabia or somewhere else on the Arabian Peninsula.
Fury's advisor, the Dubai-based MTK, is negotiating on Fury's behalf and is waiting for an offer from Saudi Arabian promoters. One factor in the negotiations is that the offer must be big enough to pay Deontay Wilder to give up his contractual right for an immediate rematch with Fury. Wilder, who is recovering from biceps surgery, was knocked out by Fury in a title fight on Feb.
