The venue could help the fight reach a bigger American television audience.

He believes Joshua wants the event to happen in front of British fans.Hearn has also revealed that he is set to speak with London Mayor Sadiq Khan as efforts continue to make Wembley a realistic option.Speaking in Dublin, Hearn said, “Thank you to all the people that have supported it because you’ve got the attention of (promoters) Sela. And those talks now are really heating up and moving quickly about a possible Wembley fight.”A Wembley fight could require a much later start time. The bout may begin around 2am in the UK to suit American viewers.Meanwhile, Fury is currently training in Miami. He has turned his attention towards Usyk after claiming the Joshua fight was off.
