The fight of the year that has been speculating for like two years has now been officially fixed for August 14 in Saudi Arabia.



Though the paper and agreement concerning the match have been made known earlier, Tyson Fury just made this confirmation after he took to his social media page on Sunday to declare that a heavyweight unification bout with his British rival will take place on August 14 in Saudi Arabia.

The Nigerian born Antony Joshua, 31, holds the WBA, WBO, and IBF belts, while Fury, 32, is the WBC champion.

In a video posted to Twitter, Fury said: 'I have got some massive news. I have just got off the phone with Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia and he told me this fight is 100 per cent on, August 14.

'All eyes of the world will be on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

'I cannot wait, I repeat, cannot wait to smash Anthony Joshua on the biggest stage of all-time.

'This is going to be the biggest sporting event ever to grace the planet Earth. Do not miss it.'
