Anthony Joshua's blockbuster undisputed heavyweight title fight with Tyson Fury may end up clashing with Conor McGregor's most up-to-date venture into the octagon.
Anthony Joshua's long-awaited showdown with Tyson Fury could happen in July, based on Eddie Hearn.
Conor McGregor's UFC trilogy struggle with Dustin Poirier is slated for July 10.
Matchroom boxing chief Eddie Hearn, nevertheless, recently claimed the fight could take place in the 'first week' or even the'backend' of July.
That might end up being a cause for concern as McGregor's trilogy struggle with Dustin Poirier is currently targeted for the identical month.
The next instalment of McGregor vs Poirier will be put to headline UFC 264 on July 10.
The great news for Hearn, nevertheless, is that the former featherweight rivals' show decider has yet to be finalised.
Staging the biggest fight in the history of baseball in the same month since Poirier vs McGregor III could wind up having a detrimental impact on pay-per-view purchases for the two fights.
Fight fans from the USA will likely have to cover $89.95 - the price of the much-maligned Mayweather vs McGregor PPV at 2017 - to watch Joshua vs Fury plus a further $69.99 to see UFC 264.
People in the UK will have to stump up a minimum of 40 to see both conflicts, that's if Joshua vs Fury isn't priced more than a #19.95.
However, Hearn is convinced Joshua and Fury's long-overdue assembly will indeed take place in July.
During an appearance on The AK and Barak series, he said: At July.
The date depends on a lot of different things. For a single venue, it's the back end of July, and also for another place, it's the very first week of July.
There's been a little talk about Wembley, that is hard, but we have 100,000 ability, which the government will be working towards.
Wembley is attempting to initiate full capacity. So if we did possess full capacity at the end of July, then Wembley comes to the dialogue.
In AJ's mind, this boils to as much money as possible, but for AJ, I am not saying he is searching for the ideal deal, however, he only wants to fight.
He desires this fight next over anything. So if it's 100,000 at Wembley, Anthony Joshua is 1 million percent signed and in for this fight.
Obviouslywe must do our work and go around the globe and present all of the supplies to the fighters, but Anthony Joshua has informed me that if it is Wembley and full up,'I'm in.'
But I have to deal with all these approaches for your fighters."
Regardless of the delay in finalising the bout - which has been agreed last June - Joshua and Fury are equally hard at work at the gym.
Hearn, 41, stated: AJ is at 100 percent complete camp.
In his mind, this is the only battle that is going to happen next. Whoever comes up with the ideal chance, it is on.
I hope that will come from the other side as well because everybody signed a contract, and they also have to approve the site and the bargain as far as the website offers.
However, it's likely to be important.
