George Groves says Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua should finally meet at Wembley Stadium instead of overseas when their long-awaited heavyweight fight takes place later this year.
“I’d love to see it at Wembley,” Groves told Sky Sports. “It’s the home of British boxing on that scale. It’s the home of sport in Britain.”
Fury and Joshua are expected to fight before the end of 2026, though neither the date nor venue has officially been confirmed.
Saudi Arabia has regularly been mentioned as a possible destination for the fight because of Turki Alalshikh’s involvement in heavyweight boxing, but Groves believes the occasion belongs in Britain.
“I’d be disappointed if it was abroad,” Groves said.
“It’s lovely to box in Saudi Arabia, it’s lovely to box in Vegas or New York or Dublin or wherever else they’re talking about. But two Brits, they will look back and say: ‘I’m so happy I boxed at Wembley Stadium.’”
Groves fought Carl Froch in front of more than 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in 2014, one of the first major British stadium fights of the modern era.
Both Fury and Joshua have since headlined separate heavyweight title events at Wembley.
Joshua is expected to return in July against Kristian Prenga, while Fury has also discussed taking another fight before facing Joshua later this year.
“People have really invested in this fight,” Groves said. “They’ve waited this long, they’ll wait a little bit longer.”
“But we do want to see them fight. We are excited to see these two guys box.”
