Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury lined up for sensational two-fight deal with Wembley showdown targeted

ANTHONY JOSHUA and Tyson Fury are being lined up for a two-fight series – which could include a Wembley Stadium blockbuster.

Both the British superstars have conducted their big-money business in Saudi Arabia of late.

Joshua is coming off an emphatic knockout over ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou, who Fury controversially beat on points in October.

And now the Gypsy King is set to face Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification.

The pair are contracted to an immediate rematch but Hearn hopes if Fury wins AJ could jump the queue so that their Battle of Britain can take place.

And the promoter even believes Saudi powerbroker Turki Al-Sheikh will bring one of potentially two bouts between them to the UK.

Hearn told The Sports Agents podcast: “This is a gentleman called Turki Al-Sheikh, who is obviously a very influential figure in sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia.

“He’s also the biggest fight fan I’ve ever met. And quite amazingly, he’s now talking about staging two Fury versus AJ fights – one in Saudi Arabia and one at Wembley Stadium.”

Al-Sheikh has been the man to finally get Hearn and rival-turned business partner Frank Warren to come together.

And it has seen Saudi – more specifically Riyadh – become the hub for major boxing events.

It leaves fans fearing they will no longer be able to watch their heroes fight on home soil due to the money on offer in the Middle East.

But Hearn has assured that Al-Sheikh himself is looking to bring the Brit icons back home as part of a domestic double header.

He said: “He’s one of those guys that listens and reads everything.

“So he’s definitely read about, ‘I wish this fight was at Wembley,’ or ‘It’s a shame the fight is in Saudi Arabia.’

“I mean, we really must have more of a global vision in sport, boxing doesn’t just sit here but two Brits, fighting for the undisputed world championship, I think he would probably bring one of them to the UK, I really do. And that financially, they’ve got the ability to do that.”
