Famous boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn revealed the bout will likely be on the 7th or 14th August while speaking with Sky Television. "Aug. 7, Aug. 14, I think it's a very bad secret that the fight is happening in Saudi Arabia," Hearn told Sky Sports television. Though Hearn says 14th seems likely since the Olympics will end by 7th of August. He said that will be the subject of discussion in the next few days. There have been worries from the camp of Fury who have stated that Fury won’t sign his site deal contract until the money is guaranteed by a bank. "It's the same people we did the deal with for Andy Ruiz; that event was spectacular. As partners they were fantastic as well." Hearn said while trying to allay fears. The promoter confirms that the deal is almost done as all is done and dusted for Joshua's camp, but the deal needs to be finalized. “The deal is done. Now we’re on the final details of the contract, which came back last Friday. It went back last night. “They are on calls now in the office about it, and I think at some point people are going to take a little bit of a leap of faith in this deal. “From our perspective and AJ’s perspective, we’re ready to go. From Tyson Fury’s perspective, they’ve got a couple of lawyers across it from their point."
