Just last week, Tyson confirmed his eagerly-anticipated clash against Anthony is set to take place in July, when he was asked about the fight in an interview with boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez.
When Julio asked the undefeated boxer on Fight Hub TV whether he is preparing for a fight, the 32-year-old responded by saying: ‘Yes, in July.’
A two-fight deal has already been agreed between Tyson, who holds the WBC title, and Anthony, who is the WBA, IBF and WBO champion.
It is anticipated that the first fight will take place in Saudi Arabia, with the British rivals having also been presented with alternative options in countries such as England, the United States and Russia.
