“Everybody wants to do the fight in New York apart from Anthony Joshua and me. We’re under a huge amount of pressure,” Hearn said to the Punch podcast.
“We’re being told by Turki Alashikh and those guys, look, Netflix particularly, you know, they really want to do the fight in the US.”
Hearn acknowledged the commercial argument for taking Joshua and Fury to America while stressing that it was not the deal Joshua originally accepted.
“I don’t agree with their arguments, but I’m not paying the money. Do you know what I mean? But we wouldn’t have signed the contract if the fight was in America,” said Hearn.
