Monday afternoon brought the announcement that the biggest fight in boxing, at least on this side of the pond, has been signed. There was always going to be a catch, of course, but perhaps there could have been less confusion.
A cryptic tweet from Saudi matchmaker Turki Alalshikh was the starting gun on a hectic, hour-long sprint in the boxing world. “To my friends in Great Britain - it’s happening . It’s signed," wrote Alalshikh. In fairness, the word cryptic is doing some heavy lifting; everyone knew this was a reference to Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury.
