George Groves says Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua should finally meet at Wembley Stadium as a substitute of overseas when their long-awaited heavyweight fight takes place later this 12 months.
“I’d like to see it at Wembley,” Groves told Sky Sports. “It’s the house of British boxing on that scale. It’s the house of sport in Britain.”
Fury and Joshua are expected to fight before the top of 2026, though neither the date nor venue has officially been confirmed.
Saudi Arabia has commonly been mentioned as a possible destination for the fight due to Turki Alalshikh’s involvement in heavyweight boxing, but Groves believes the occasion belongs in Britain.
“I’d be disillusioned if it was abroad,” Groves said.
“It’s lovely to box in Saudi Arabia, it’s lovely to box in Vegas or Latest York or Dublin or wherever else they’re talking about. But two Brits, they may look back and say: ‘I’m so glad I boxed at Wembley Stadium.’”
Groves fought Carl Froch in front of greater than 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in 2014, one among the primary major British stadium fights of the trendy era.
Each Fury and Joshua have since headlined separate heavyweight title events at Wembley.
Joshua is predicted to return in July against Kristian Prenga, while Fury has also discussed taking one other fight before facing Joshua later this 12 months.
“People have really invested on this fight,” Groves said. “They’ve waited this long, they’ll wait a bit bit longer.”
“But we do need to see them fight. We’re excited to see these two guys box.”
