“This is for you. We also have Joshua and Tyson Fury this year. We don’t choose the place until now,” said Alalshikh.

“I tell you from the beginning. It depends about England. Give us all what we need. We want the fight here in England, but we want the time zone of all the world, especially in America.

“If they allow us to have Wembley late in the night, we want to do it in England. Now it’s about the time and the viewership. Yes, and the subscribers. We talk to the mayors and Prince Abdullah will try to help and the taxi of London will push.”

Alalshikh’s latest comments suggest the negotiations have shifted away from finding a stadium and toward solving the logistical challenge of television scheduling.

A traditional evening start at Wembley would air in the afternoon across much of the United States, while a later start would place the main event in a far more valuable American prime-time window. With the fight expected to attract one of the largest global audiences in boxing, maximizing international viewership has become a central part of the discussions.

Alalshikh also revealed that talks are planned with London officials as his team works to secure the necessary approvals.

Before any deal can be finalized, both heavyweights have business to take care of. Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, while Fury meets veteran Mariusz Wach in Thailand on July 24. Victories for both would clear the path for the long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown later this year.
