Carl Froch has complained about Tyson Fury's upcoming fight with Oleksandr Usyk, insisting British fans are set to miss out.
The two men had originally been due to face each other on December 23.
However, with Fury needing more time to recover from his win over Francis Ngannou at the end of last month, that's forced proceedings to be delayed.
Fury vs Usyk will be a match that captivates both the boxing and sporting world.

Yet Froch, speaking to Ace Odds, has now lamented that it's taking place in Saudi and fears British fans will miss out as a result.
"The fight will probably happen because, like I say, money controls everything, doesn't it?" he said.
"Let's be honest. In the Western world, cash is king.
"If the money's there, if it makes money, it makes sense.
"The fans lose out because it's not at the Wembley Stadium or it's not at the O2 Arena.
"We can't go and physically watch the undisputed unified heavyweight championship of the world. We can't watch that fight.
"Or you can if you want to get on a plane and go to Saudi. And not many people from Britain do that to be honest."
Froch also fears Saudi Arabia have too much influence on boxing, warning it's detrimental to the sport.
"For the sport itself, is that where it's going? Is that like the pinnacle now?" he added.
"Are we going to try and become an area champion, a British champion, a world champion and then once you're a world champion, is the aim to be then good enough or big enough to then get this Saudi money?
"Because that's the cream now, that's the golden goose, isn't it? That's the golden ticket, if you like.
"But it's only happening for a small amount of fighters.
"You've got Tyson Fury, you've got Anthony Joshua, and then you're kind of running out of names.
"I know Deontay Wilder is fighting Joseph Parker, but you've got a handful of people that are able to cash in and benefit.
"You've got greedy promoters that will say, we're doing it for the fans, which is bulls**t. That's bulls**t.
"How many fans can afford to buy a ticket, jump on a plane and go out to Saudi Arabia?
"And you can't even have a pint of Guinness and watch the fight, right?
"Who wants to do it? And how many people can afford to do it? Nobody.
"You're not doing it for the fans. You're doing it for your f**king bank balance. You're doing it for the money.
"Let's just be real. Let's be straight. It's an obscene amount of money. We're all human beings.
"We all want the money. So I can understand, but don't try and tell us you're doing it for the fans."

He continued: "Is it good for boxing? I don't know if it is good for boxing.
"It's probably not because it's stopping the big fights from happening.
"Anthony Joshua should be fighting Deontay Wilder, but instead they're now giving us Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder on the same card, fighting in fights that they're pretty much guaranteed to win."
