But getting the deal across the finish line has been a knock-down-drag-out war on the negotiations table. 

Fury and Joshua have finally agreed to meet in a "Battle of Britain" that would feature former heavyweight champions from the United Kingdom.

Now, the only question that remains is exactly where and when the fight will take place.

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn is insisting the fight should take place in the UK, as they've originally signed on for, he's stated.

White, the frontman for Zuffa Boxing and UFC, as well as other involved parties, have had other ideas, including bringing the mega fight to the United States. 

"Listen, this saga, we'll see how this whole thing plays out. I mean they either want to fight, or they don't. I don't know," White said on Saturday during the UFC 330 post-fight press conference in Philadelphia. 

"We did the television and venue deal."

When White was asked if the fight will take place in New York, he said: 

"We'll see. Listen, to make a fight, two guys have to want to fight – period, end of story. Contracts, and this and that – there's a lot of money for grabs in this fight. Do you want to fight? or not? I don't give a s*** one way or the other. It's up to them."

White was then asked if he'd be happy to stage the fight in the UK. 

"Yeah, listen, I don't give a s***. The fight should have happened 10 years ago. Is it going to happen now? We'll see." 

Last month, White blasted the tune-up concept that preceded the planned pitting after Joshua (30-4, 26 KOs) survived a serious scare against Kristian Prenga, getting knocked down twice in the first round before rebounding to knock out Prenga in the second round in Saudi Arabia.

On the previous day, Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) stopped Mariusz Wach in seven rounds in Thailand.
