No-one can pull out of the fight. You can’t just pull out of a contract,” he said.The main issue still to be resolved is where the fight will take place.The bout had been expected to happen in the United Kingdom in November, but Saudi organisers Sela are pushing for it to be staged in the United States.Related NewsDubois speaks on Itauma, Hrgovic fightAjagba calls out Joshua for fight in NigeriaFury calls Joshua coward, casts doubts on super-fightJoshua and Fury have separate contracts with Sela, with New York’s Madison Square Garden reportedly among the preferred venues.The fight is also expected to be broadcast on Netflix.Hearn said the Joshua camp would prefer the fight to remain in Britain but could consider a move to the United States under the right terms.“We know everybody and his dog involved in the fight wants to do the fight in America.
