London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan is backing a bid for Wembley Stadium to stage the heavyweight super-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua later this year.
However, Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh indicated earlier this week that a London fight, which is expected to take place in October or November, would have to start in the early hours to accommodate global television interests. To do so would require an exemption to Wembley’s current curfews which is 11pm for weekend events.
