Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are finally poised to square-off in a long-mooted blockbuster showdown later this year, but the big question now is where will the fight take place.
Saudi Arabian bankroller Turki Alalshikh has revealed that an agreement is now in place for the British boxing behemoths to collide, but with a destination for the fight yet to be sourced, plenty of fight fans are wondering why?
Well, in short, both Team Fury and Team Joshua, together with Alalshikh, are clamouring for the fight to be staged in the United Kingdom - ideally at Wembley Stadium.
However, with the showdown being so high-profile, there is a desire to also ensure that the fight starts at a time to maximise a global TV audience.
That means a standard 22:30 (GMT) ring walk time in the United Kingdom wouldn't satisfy those demands, with the east coast of the United States being five hours behind GMT and the west coast a further three hours behind.
A potential 04:00 (GMT) time in London has been pondered, but as of yet, there has been no breakthrough in talks, with the English capital's local authority unwilling to break their usual 23:00 (GMT) curfew.
That said, there is still hope that a resolution can be reached in the coming days with Alalshikh and representatives of both Queensberry and Matchroom working tirelessly to get the green light to host the event at Wembley.
There has been a potential twist in the last few days too, with the Principality Stadium in Wales understood to have offered to play host to the colossal clash.
Welsh Rugby Union, who own and operate the Cardiff-based venue, have revealed that they are open to talks and have said that a start time in the early hours of the morning would be accommodated.
"We'd be delighted to host this fight," a spokesman for WRU said on Tuesday.
"We are very keen to attract more boxing to the stadium, which has a rich history in the sport, enhanced by its closeable roof, unrivalled sight lines and unique city centre location."
The only real conundrum with the Principality Stadium appears to lie in the fact that Wales have three international rugby matches scheduled in to take place that month against Japan, New Zealand and Australia in the Nations Championship.
Last month, there was talk that a deal was close to being agreed for the fight to be hosted in the United States or even Saudi Arabia, although Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn was quick to quash those claims.
He announced that the current agreement, which had been signed by all parties, stipulated the bout must take place in the United Kingdom.
At the time of writing, it's clear the preferred venue is Wembley Stadium, but that all hinges on whether an agreement can be reached with the Mayor of London to move back the start time to around 04:00 (GMT).
A final decision is expected before the end of the month.
