    Hearn will go to the highest bidder and there are no covid restrictions on crowds at venues in Saudi Arabia.

    Interesting story Mark. I cant see Eddie Hearn allowing this as it gives an advantage to Fury's better stamina. Do you see it happening?

    I was shocked when I read it, my neighbour upstairs from me said 24-25 degrees as hot as I first thought though.

    I worked in Doha for a couple of years and it was much hotter than that. 38-40C in September if I remember correctly

    edit: just checked and yes its closer to 40 than 25c

    No way they fight outdoors in that searing heat. That is just silly.

    The Gypsy KIng

    The Desert KIng?

    I'm getting a mental image of Fury riding a camel to the ring, surrounded by bellydancers

    Yeah I've been dubai in July, August, September and the temperature in the evening is pretty much the same as the day. It drops slightly at best.

    Also friends who have been to Saudi for Haj and Umra in the summer say the evenings are still mad hot and way hotter than 25c
