Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are finally expected to fight, but their long-delayed heavyweight clash is reportedly heading to New York instead of Wembley. The column argues that both fighters have lost their world titles and much of the fight’s original significance, leaving pride and entertainment as the main stakes. While fans may accept the bout happening at all, the decision to stage it 3,000 miles from Britain is described as a hollow victory that will exclude tens of thousands of supporters.

Anthony Joshua is willing to move his proposed fight with Tyson Fury from Wembley to Madison Square Garden in New York on November 20, but wants increased compensation for the higher tax burden and says he is owed money from his previous bout. Promoter Eddie Hearn is seeking assurances on ticketing and security, while Fury's manager Spencer Brown has voiced frustration over the delay. If Joshua's conditions are met, an official announcement could come the following week.
