The heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua would need to start at 2am if it is to be staged at Wembley, the organiser has said.

Turki Alalshikh wants to stage the fight – which is expected to take place in October or November – at a time that would attract a global audience, but would need to gain an exemption to Wembley’s current curfews to go ahead with his plans.
