The initial bout proposal stated that the contest would take place on November 12 at Old Trafford but Eddie Hearn stated this didn’t give AJ enough time to prepare. Instead, Hearn requested that the fight takes place on December 17 at the Principality Stadium.
According to the Matchroom Boxing chief, the date and venue had been booked by Fury’s camp for a fight with Derek Chisora but The Gypsy King affirmed that this was not true and came back with two more alternative dates — November 26 at Wembley Stadium and December 3 at the Principality Stadium.
