Both fighters are understood to have current agreements in place with different broadcast partners in the United Kingdom.

Fury reportedly has a deal with BT Sport Boxing. All of his fights since 2018 have aired on the network.

Joshua has an exclusive deal with Sky Sports, and his rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr in December 2019 netted a domestic record of 1.6 million pay-per-view purchases at a cost of £24.95 each.

One likely scenario in the UK is a joint pay-per-view production with both Sky Sports Box Office and BT Sport Box Office airing the bout.
