# Fury-Joshua heavyweight showdown: venue dispute and collapse > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/joshuafury-heavyweight-boxing-showdown > Updated: 2026-09-10T15:44:14.000Z. Sources: 347. Developments: 62. Negotiations for the heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have reached a critical impasse, with the bout’s status currently in doubt. While discussions recently shifted back toward Wembley Stadium in London following public pressure, the venue dispute—pitting Joshua’s preference for the United Kingdom against stakeholder interest in United States locations like Madison Square Garden—has caused a significant breakdown in talks. Tyson Fury has publicly declared the bout is ‘off’, accusing Joshua of being ‘weak-minded’ and backing out of the deal. Following this, Fury has redirected his focus toward a potential trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk, suggesting a November 2026 timeframe to settle their rivalry. However, Usyk’s manager, Sergey Lapin, has dismissed the call for a trilogy, stating that Usyk is not a ‘backup option’ or a ‘back-up plan’ for Fury. Recent developments have intensified the friction. Dana White, president of Zuffa Boxing, has threatened to exit negotiations, accusing promoter Eddie Hearn of being the primary obstacle to the deal. White suggested that if Hearn is unwilling to cooperate with the current direction, he should organize the fight himself. As a potential resolution to the venue deadlock, Principality Stadium in Cardiff has emerged as a leading candidate for a possible November 28 date. The venue offers a retractable roof for weather protection and a capacity exceeding 75,000. This location may satisfy financier Sela’s requirement for a UK-based event while potentially accommodating Netflix’s broadcast timing requirements for American audiences. Previous discussions regarding New York were complicated by demands for higher purses to offset US taxes. ## Claims - Anthony Joshua was knocked down twice in the first round of his fight against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on 26 July 2026.
