Fury vs Joshua: Eddie Hearn has confirmed he has sent an addendum to organisers presiding over the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight.

Organisers are keen to stage the long-awaited Fury vs Joshua bout at Madison Square Garden in New York. However, Eddie Hearn remains keen for it to land in the UK. That said an addendum has now been issued.

Hearn, who has promoted Joshua since his professional debut, says he has a signed contract for the fight to take place in the UK. Additionally, the Matchroom Chairman has now sent over fresh terms. If organisers agree to these additional terms, the bout will likely head to New York.

Hearn said to IFLTV: “There has been an addendum sent to the Saudis, SELA. Basically say if you want to do this fight in America, these are all the things we would like to clarify and clear up.

“The addendum are the changes to be made to the contract.”

He explained the addendum simply lists the changes Matchroom wants to make to the contract.

Fury vs Joshua addendum confusion

However, Hearn quashed a report in Boxing Scene on Thursday. The report suggested the Fury vs Joshua addendum contained a list of demands.

  • Immediately pay Matchroom all monies owed across future darts and snooker events.
  • International promotional fees plus deposits for World Series of Darts and 167 Riyadh Season events.
  • Formally confirm the Ronnie O’Sullivan Academy license for a third year. Also, pay those future invoices now
  • Pay Matchroom all outstanding funds from prior boxing events.

Fury vs Joshua proposed undercard

However, he did confirm that separate meetings did take place with SELA over money owed. But he stressed this was unrelated to the actual Fury vs Joshua addendum.

“None of those points are in the addendum,” Hearn said.

Hearn clarified that Matchroom simply wants payment for contracts it already signed.

While the Fury vs Joshua addendum focuses on venue terms, Hearn separately confirmed the undercard fighters Matchroom hopes to see on the card. Specifically, they’ve asked for three fights on the undercard.

“There’s also a point on there about fights on the undercard. We put forward three fights that we would like to propose for the card. “[Murat] Gassiev against [Jarrell] Miller. Bam [Rodriguez] against [Christian] Medina and Keyshawn [Davis] against Jack Catterall.”
