The tech rivals are set to fight in an “epic location” in Italy, according to Twitter boss Musk.

And he also claims the fight will be live streamed on both Meta and X.

UFC boss Dana White claimed he held talks with Italian government officials over the fight location.

Speaking on Mike Tyson’s podcast, White claimed the Colosseum in Rome would be the fight venue.

Musk confirmed the fight would take place at an “epic location” but played down White’s involvement.

He tweeted Friday morning: “The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).

“Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.

“I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

“Everything done will pay respect to the past and present of Italy.

“And all proceeds go to veterans.”

No date has yet been provided for the bout, which White said would earn $1billion.

The Twitter chief was accused of dragging his feet by Zuckerberg, plunging the fight into doubt.

The Meta boss claims he is ready to go and even built an octagon in his backyard to train.

But he says Musk is yet to respond to his proposed fight date of August 26.

And the Twitter boss said he will need an MRI and possible surgery before the fight can go ahead.

Musk is dealing with an apparent neck and back problem and claimed he will know more on his injury this week.
