The undisputed heavyweight world championship fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, which is close to the finish line on a site deal for the bout to take place this summer in Saudi Arabia, will be delivered to an American audience via ESPN+ pay-per-view in the United States, Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, Fury's co-promoter, told BoxingScene on Monday.

TV basically as Bob said it would be months ago though he did mention it might sell through DAZN also and they would have world wide rights (ex US UK).

Hopefully they can at least do it cheap in the States.

After the AJ/Ruiz 2 fight I said all along the only way AJ/Fury happens is if it’s in an area like SA that will pay a huge fee not looking to make a profit.
Only way these guys make huge guarantees needed to get it done. Looks like it’s gearing up to happen this summer then hopefully a rematch later this year. Hope it actually goes down.

DAZN gets freezed out of this fight after all the overpaying they have been doing lol.

There's every reason not to do this in July... which tells me that, if they do it, we've got an absolute rarity. Two fighters who want to prove they're the best in their prime and promoters actually working for their boxers.

This doesn't happen very often.

Arum is a well-knowed Jew, would be get a visa to Saudi? If he does hopefully he has security, Islamist don’t fancy Jews in them holy lands prancing around in cheap suits.

Did you really think they'd give a choice between a cheap subscription or a high price PPV?

Of course not, Joshua was always excluded from the DAZN/Matchroom deal.

I think you're now in the tricky position of wanting to slate Eddie Hearn, while having to accept that he was straight up with fans the whole way through.

Wilder mediation doe. Joshua doesn't want it doe. Saudis got their fingers burnt with Clash in the Dunes doe.

As Arum said DAZN are welcome to sell it jointly in the States but it had/has to be a pay per view at the ESPN price point. He said all this months ago and in much more depth. Expect DAZN to have the rest of the world minus UK
