- Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Joshua turned down millions of pounds to ensure the fight took place in the UK instead of the US.
- Organisers and broadcasters, including Netflix, originally pushed to host the heavyweight clash at Madison Square Garden in New York.
- Hearn confirmed the contract for a UK fight was finalised after organisers abandoned plans to take the event to America.
- Hearn dismissed claims that rival promoter Dana White would be involved in the event, insisting contracts explicitly prohibit his participation.
