Fury-AJ is happening in the U.K. because @Turki_alalshikh ultimately decided to stage the bout at Principality Stadium. He’s the organizer of the event, and it’s his call in the end. Everyone had 10-plus years to make the fight and it didn’t happen until Turki came around. Just the facts.
Community note
Fury-AJ is in the UK per Joshua's contract; Hearn and Joshua refused to amend it for a US venue despite pressure from Turki Alalshikh, SELA, Netflix and others for better US viewership.

One of the best fights I’ve attended (this one as a paying fan): Pavlik-Taylor 1 in Atlantic City. Everyone in the crowd thought Pavlik was finished when Taylor had him in trouble. Both boxers had under appreciated careers that have aged well imo

Teo isn’t scared of anyone, he fought Loma when no one else would and beat him. But if Teo wants to unify with Ryan Garcia, there’s a lot more money in that is all

Jack Catterall has looked his best at welterweight over these last few fights. Dangerous fight for Teo. Does he vacate the belt?
🚨 The WBA has ordered Teofimo Lopez to defend his welterweight world title vs mandatory challenger Jack Catterall.
The parties have until October 22nd to reach a deal.

Benavidez stated to @MikeCoppinger on air last week that he is not going back down to Light heavyweight.
The WBA Championship Committee has requested David Benavidez to clarify which title he intends to continue campaigning for, following his achievement of becoming a champion in two weight classes, holding the WBA Cruiserweight and Light Heavyweight titles.
