There has already been speculation that a Fury-Joshua fight could be staged outside the United Kingdom despite previous suggestions that Wembley Stadium was the preferred destination.<\/p>\n<p>While Jordan acknowledged the growing uncertainty, he stopped short of predicting the fight would collapse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s too much money in this fight for it to not happen,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n<p>Fury is expected to return in a warm-up contest later this summer before pursuing a fight with Joshua, which remains one of the biggest attractions in world boxing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Youtube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1781700312_42_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
