    Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Live stream, TV channel, venue and purse for HUGE heavyweight ‘Battle of Britain’ clash

    BRITISH boxing fans are set to be in for a treat this winter as Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will FINALLY face off.The Gypsy King called out Joshua after claiming that talks with Ukrainian machine Oleksandr Usyk had stalled.

    But after weeks of negotiations, AJ shockingly accepted Fury’s offer despite disappointingly losing to Usyk less than a month ago.
    Here is everything you need to know about Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury.
    Joshua vs Fury – when will it happen?
    Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury was originally set to take place over two fights, with the pair verbally agreeing a deal last summer.
    The first fight was supposed to happen in August before Deontay Wilder’s team won a legal battle against Fury, securing the Bronze Bomber’s right to a contracted trilogy rematch, which he lost.
    But negotiations are progressing nicely and it seems as if the huge fight will happen on December 3.
    Joshua vs Fury – where will it take place?
    As stated by Hearn, the first fight was likely to take place in Saudi Arabia, with a second eyed to take place in the UK.
    Anthony Joshua successfully regained his titles against Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi while Tyson Fury wowed the crowd by making a WWE appearance in the Gulf State.
    However reports suggest the ‘Battle of Britain’ clash will take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
    Joshua vs Fury – how much will they earn?
    A lot. That’s the simple answer.
    But a figure of £70million has been floating around with Tyson Fury set to take home 60% of the purse whilst AJ takes 40%.
    Hearn also spoke earlier this year about how he expects the pair to make ‘Mayweather money’, referencing the grand purses Floyd used to pull in for his fights.

    “It’s certainly I think, you know, the biggest fight, the most lucrative fight, in boxing right now – unquestionably,” Hearn said.
    “That’s Mayweather money. You know? And we haven’t seen Mayweather money since Mayweather.
    “I think it’s impossible to give a number. There’s no set purses for this fight because, obviously, it’s a revenue share. But it’s certainly gonna break records everywhere.”
    Joshua vs Fury – what hurdles are left to clear?
    Fortunately for boxing fans… none!
    The venue, purse and date of the fight have all been agreed which means that these two iconic heavyweights can prepare for ‘Battle of Britain’.

    When will Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua take place? All you need to know on blockbuster bout
    Joshua vs Fury – what channel will it be on in the UK?
    This could be a tricky one.
    Joshua had an exclusive deal with Sky Sports in the UK, but it expired after his fight with Usyk, and while Fury’s deal with BT Sport isn’t exclusive, he’s closely aligned with them.
    Fury, however, has fought on Sky Sports Box Office before, most notably for his world heavyweight title win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015.
    Don’t be surprised if the two sides come to an agreement where both Sky and BT decide to work together on a dual-broadcast.
    Streaming DAZN, however, are also a part of the UK market, as they exclusively broadcast all of Matchroom’s fight nights.
    One thing holding any potential bids from DAZN, however, is that they don’t offer fights on pay-per-view, like Sky and BT do.
    In the U.S., the situation is also tricky.
    Fury has an exclusive deal with ESPN, while Joshua’s last four fights have been shown on streaming service DAZN in the U.S.
    ESPN offer a pay-per-view service for their big fight nights while DAZN work on a subscription-based model, making a deal for the fight to be shown on both channels difficult.
    Joshua vs Fury – what have they all said?
    AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that they have accepted the offer after thrashing out talks with Frank Warren’s son George
    Hearn said: “We just went back this morning and said, I spoke to AJ about that offer, we think, I think particularly he deserves more than 40 per cent.
    “But, he’s happy. And I don’t make the decisions, he does. So I went back this morning and said, ‘We accept 60/40’.
    Most read in Boxing
    “We want that reversed in the rematch, rightfully so because you’re champion here, you want the bigger split, which I think is fair.
    “They’re all former good men, back in the early 2000s, late 2000s, but not in 2020-odd. They were good men 10 years ago.” More

    Sky Sports and BT miss out on Potter’s return to Brighton as Chelsea manager and reunion with Diego Costa also not on TV

    PREMIER LEAGUE broadcasters have missed out on the opportunity to show two massive games later this season. Following the appointment of Graham Potter as Chelsea boss and Diego Costa signing for Wolves, fans would have loved to view Potter’s return to Brighton and Costa’s return to Chelsea in October.

    However, neither fixture will be available to watch in the UK after they were both snubbed for TV and instead pencilled in for 3pm kick offs.
    Chelsea will host Wolves on October 8th – a match which will mark Costa’s return to Stamford Bridge.
    And later in the month, Chelsea will make their way to Brighton, which will see Potter’s return in front of the Amex faithful.
    While the reception for Costa’s Chelsea return may be quite warm – owing to him firing The Blues to two league titles – the atmosphere at the Brighton game could be far more toxic.

    Seagulls’ fans are split over Potter, after he published an open letter begging fans to try and “understand” his decision to move to Chelsea.
    Broadcasters revealed what games would be on TV in October as early as July.
    And despite the absence of Costa and Potter’s respective reunion’s with their former clubs there are set to be some tasty fixtures played out on TV.
    These games include the North London and Manchester derbies at the start of the month, before Manchester City face Liverpool a week later.

    Manchester United will also face games against top six rivals Tottenham and Chelsea, with the former being picked up by Amazon Prime.
    Last weekend saw all Premier League and EFL fixtures postponed following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
    A number of fixtures set to be played this weekend have been postponed, including Manchester United v Leeds and Chelsea v Liverpool.
    Arsenal’s Thursday game against PSV was postponed due to similar fears. More

    And Cole was warming up ahead of going live on air wearing Hill-like glasses.
    The 40-year-old then spotted what he looked like on camera, prompting a response from Crouch.
    The ex-Liverpool and Tottenham striker said: “You look really studious.”
    Cole responded: “I look like Heston Blumenthal, don’t I?”

    He later added, with Crouch in stitches: “I ain’t wearing these on air after seeing them on there – no chance.”
    Crouch then seized the opportunity to tease Cole and liken the former midfielder to You’ve Been Framed frontman Hill.
    He said: “No, you’ll be doing You’ve Been Framed soon, son.
    “Harry Hill. It’s Harry Hill. I like it, I think it looks good.”
    Cole also had his collar open, like Hill.
    As the comedian would have said, there’s only one way to sort this out – fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

    Anthony Joshua must decide TOMORROW and rip up new DAZN contract if he will accept Tyson Fury fight offer

    ANTHONY JOSHUA must decide by WEDNESDAY if he will accept a November Battle of Britain with Tyson Fury.But the battered and bruised 32-year-old former world champ will have to rip up his brand new mega-money deal with broadcasters DAZN to make the fight happen on the Gypsy King’s terms and channel.
    Joshua has been offered a 40 per cent split to face Fury on BT SportCredit: Getty
    Fury revealed he is handing the opportunity to AJ in a social media video on MondayCredit: Getty
    WBC champion Fury, 34, has made a more-than-generous offer of 60-40 per cent for the former two-time WBA, IBF and WBO boss to take a short-notice crack at his title, on the back of consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
    The mid-November clash – on Fury’s backers BT Sport – would give AJ just around 10 weeks to prepare for the biggest fight in British boxing history, with him barely having recovered from the August 20 shootout with the 35-year-old Ukraine icon.
    It’s a win-win deal for Fury, who either gets a big-money tilt at his rival when his confidence and bargaining power is at rock bottom or the chance to call AJ a coward for not accepting the terms.
    But the minimal notice and exclusive rival broadcast deals means the deal is almost dead in the Thames before it has even got off the ground.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    Team Joshua believe the short notice and well-known TV commitments means the offer was always a bluff from the master manipulator. A source told us: “This is typical Fury.
    “If it was a fair offer then AJ – who now has £150million in the bank and nothing to lose and he has never been more dangerous – could take it.

    “But a November fight after Usyk on August 20 is totally unrealistic.”
    Fury’s promoter Frank Warren was working on a December 17 undisputed decider against Usyk, until the Ukraine genius delayed with injury.

    And he reckons the offer he sent on Tuesday morning was more than fair, considering Joshua’s new predicament toward the wrong end of the heavyweight food chain.
    He said: “We have got to a stage where we have initiated this and we have sent through what we are prepared to do to make this fight happen, then we will see if they want it.
    “It will be in the UK in November. It’s perfect timing for AJ to accept it, it would take him a long time to get himself back into the world title scene so he should grab this with both hands.
    “Usyk will not be ready until March so Tyson wants to fight before then.
    “It’s not rocket science, we have presented the pot and they can decide if they want it or not. We have opened the door and let them in.”
    But AJ promoter Eddie Hearn feels like the 6ft 9in undefeated Morecambe mastermind is playing tricks with fight fans and Christmas is the earliest this cracker could be pulled together.
    He countered: “Fury’s outstanding at getting the public to believe absolute nonsense.

    “Personally, I don’t think he’s serious about it.
    “But like I said, AJ would have no problem with taking this fight in December.” More

    But it appears he hasn’t been practising much with a football.
    Ahead of kick-off at St Mary’s, United legends Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes decided to have a kick about.
    Scholes lifted the ball towards Crouch, but the 6ft7 former Three Lions man proved rusty as he lost control of the ball after it hit his shin.
    Ferdinand couldn’t help but turn away from Crouch as he laughed.

    Crouch said his poor showing let his friends and family down, as well as himself.
    He tweeted: “I’ve let my friends, family and more importantly I’ve let myself down. #backstonger next week.”
    On the poor touch, one fan said on Twitter: “Not in front of Scholes mate.”
    Another replied: “Head up Crouchie, wind caught that one.”

    United’s Bruno Fernandes later put Crouch to shame, scoring the winner with a first-time volley.

    Ronaldo, 37, embraced old team-mates Gary Neville and Roy Keane on that occasion, pointedly skipping outspoken critic Carra.
    Today at St Mary’s he proved it wasn’t merely an anti-Liverpool player thing, having beamed as he embraced ex-Red Crouchy.
    Ronaldo also pranked his pal Ferdinand, squirting water at his shoes.
    Rio, who donned an all-white outfit, moaned: “I’ve got suede shoes on and he’s squirting water on my shoes man!”

    As BT Sport showed the clip of Ronaldo greeting their pundits, host Lynsey Hipgrave, who replaced Jake Humphrey this season, said: “I was the one being blanked this time, which I wasn’t too happy about Rio!”
    Earlier this week, Ferdinand claimed that his pal Ronaldo deliberately tried to “humiliate” Carragher on Monday Night.
    The 43-year-old said on his Vibe with Five show: “Knowing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jamie Carragher’s been very vocal about Ronaldo being the problem and stuff like that.
    “Trust me, Cristiano would’ve seen those comments and would’ve been thinking walking over there I’ll just let this guy know with a little… he needs to kind of calm him down, humiliate him and show him up, whatever way you want to dress it up live on TV.

    “Cristiano is very calculated, he’s very aware of what’s going on, he’s not somebody who sits at home and switches off.
    “I’ve always said this, he uses social media and people’s comments as fuel to drive him on to be the best he’s done that since he was a young kid.”
    Ferdinand then added: “Anyone who spoke bad about him in the media he knew about it. He mentioned Gary Lineker to me once about stuff because Gary Lineker is a massive Messi fan.
    Cristiano will take that personallyRio Ferdinand
    “I was thinking bro you’re not even in this country how are you seeing the footage. He knows everything.
    “For Jamie Carragher to continually call him out, he’s got a right to his own opinion Jamie, but Cristiano will take that personally.
    “He’s an emotional guy and he’ll show that his actions were no surprise to me. I find it funny, I find it hilarious to be honest.”
    Carragher responded to the snub on Twitter, after Soccer AM tweeted: “*Insert custard pie emoji*.”
    The Liverpool legend hit back: “I get a custard pie for getting it right on Ronaldo from day one!
    “The custard pie for him from ETH shows the Manager thinks the same!
    “Maybe the ex Man United Legends (sycophants!) will now agree with me.”
