The head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al al-Sheikh, sent shockwaves through the sports world during a live broadcast on Netflix.
Details: While at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of Tyson Fury’s bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov, the influential official announced the preparation of “the greatest fight in England’s history.” He was referring to the long-anticipated showdown between the two premier heavyweights of the era—Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury—a mega-fight that has been years in the making.
Despite rumors of a potential clash in Dublin at Croke Park, Al al-Sheikh hinted that the epic battle will most likely take place at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London.
The Saudi boss joked that all that remained was to “kidnap” promoter Eddie Hearn to finally settle the last legal details. The ringside presence of Joshua himself that night only underscored the organizers' serious intentions.
Reminder: Former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney named the celebrity he would fight in a boxing match.
