The boxing world is waiting with baited breath for a date and location to be officially confirmed for the already-agreed fight between WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and his WBC counterpart, Tyson Fury.
However the politics of the sport, combined with the delicate situation of the coronavirus pandemic, haven't made it easy.
Here is a lowdown of what we know so far, what we're waiting to find out and what happens if things continue to drag on much longer.
When will Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury happen?
Although no official date currently exists for a fight between the heavyweight pair, summer 2021 seems to be the preferred choice from all parties. The agreement signed by the fighters is for two fights in 2021 so that means if the deal is to stay in place then the first fight will have to be staged this summer.
There remains a huge confidence from the fighters that an arrangement can be made for a fight in either July or August, but Frank Warren, the U.K. promoter of Fury, believes that the Tokyo Olympics could obstruct the fight due to Robert McCracken, the trainer of Joshua, being present in Japan in his role as Team GB's coach.
Meanwhile others in the boxing industry, including a former British world heavyweight champion in David Haye, believe there's a chance the first meeting between the duo won't take place until the latter stages of 2021.
Where will Joshua vs. Fury happen?
The biggest stumbling block in making Joshua vs. Fury official has been locating a suitable fight venue. Numerous sites including Saudi Arabia, Singapore, China, London, and Las Vegas have all expressed an interest but the Covid-19 Pandemic is still a major global problem. The money required for such an event is likely available but can the host be guaranteed a suitable return on its original investment due to the current restrictions that exist?
Given that this is a British superfight between two of the UK's own, Wembley is of course the romantic choice. However unless the venue gets clearance to welcome a capacity crowd of fans, there is no way it will generate enough revenue to compete with site fees from the Middle East and beyond.
What will happen if Joshua vs. Fury cannot be agreed?
If Joshua vs. Fury cannot be made in 2021 then any hope of all belts being on the line between the heavyweight division's rulers is likely off the table for when they do eventually meet. Joshua would likely be mandated to defend his WBO bekt against Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk whilst the WBC could put pressure on Fury to take on Dillian Whyte. Deontay Wilder, a former victim of Fury, believes he has the right to challenge the only man to beat him and he remains a vital character in the heavyweight mix.
