London Mayor Sadiq Khan has publicly appealed to promoters to bring the long-mooted Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua fight to Wembley Stadium, saying he is "really keen" to host the bout. Saudi organisers Sela have reportedly contacted his office in recent weeks, but talks over a London date remain undeveloped, with organisers and broadcaster Netflix said to favour Madison Square Garden in New York for a fight pencilled in for November. The choice of venue matters commercially and symbolically, given both boxers' strong domestic following and the scale of audience a UK staging could draw.

Wembley's usual 23:00 curfew could complicate a late-night slot designed to maximise US television viewership, and Brent Council says any extension would need approval from the stadium's safety advisory group. Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn says a UK venue is contractually stipulated, though he has proposed terms under which Matchroom would accept a move to the US, with negotiations ongoing. Khan noted Wembley could draw 100,000 fans in person and millions more worldwide, and hopes for a venue decision within days, with Hearn targeting an announcement this week and a news conference next week.
