<p>LONDON — The all-British fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury for the undisputed world heavyweight title will take place in Saudi Arabia, promoter Eddie Hearn said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Hearn, who represents Joshua, said the fight is likely to take place on Aug. 7 or Aug. 14. He said Aug. 14 is his preferred date because the Olympic Games in Tokyo will have finished, making the Joshua-Fury fight a bigger “global spectacle.”</p>
<p>“It’s a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi Arabia,” Hearn told British broadcaster Sky Sports. “To be honest with you, I don’t mind giving you that information.”</p>
<p>Fury’s U.S. promoter, Bob Arum, has previously said Saudi Arabia would be the location of the fight.</p>
<p>Hearn has yet to respond to The Associated Press’ request to confirm the details of the fight.</p>
<p>It would be Joshua’s second fight in the kingdom. He reclaimed his WBA, IBF and WBO belts from Andy Ruiz there in December 2019.</p>
<p>Joshua’s only fight since saw him retain his titles by knocking out Kubrat Pulev in December.</p>
<p>Fury hasn’t fought since beating Deontay Wilder in February last year to capture the WBC title.</p>
<p>Fury and Joshua have called each other out over Twitter over the last 24 hours, both urging the other to finalize terms for the fight.</p>
<p>Hearn said the “deal is done” but there was frustration on both sides that the fight had not been officially announced.</p>
<p>“From our perspective and AJ’s perspective, we’re ready to go,” he said. “From Tyson Fury’s perspective, they’ve got a couple of lawyers across it from their point.</p>
<p>“We have to nail this,” Hearn added, “and I’m not going to stop until I nail it, and everyone has just got to move forward collectively. We’re ready to go from our side. We’re not far away from their side and it is inevitable.”</p>
