But even since that announcement there has been further complications which briefly appeared to threaten Wednesday's news conference going ahead. Issues over Fury's enrollment with VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) and Dana White's potential presence at the event proved problematic.
However, Fury has now enrolled with VADA, and White has confirmed he will not be attending.
White had insisted he is involved in the fight, which Turki Alalshikh is financing and Netflix will broadcast.
But Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn claims that White cannot be a part of the promotion. The first photo opportunities for the big players behind Fury and Joshua is also at Wednesday's news conference.
It could yet be an important battleground before the first bell sounds in December. Will Fury or Joshua get the better of a war of words? Whose body language will hint at victory? We will likely have some clues on Wednesday.
