Fury and Joshua Set for Highly Anticipated Showdown This Year, Promoter Claims

According to manager Spencer Brown, Tyson Fury is on track to face Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated boxing match later this year. Brown, who is also promoting Fury's upcoming bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov, believes a victory for Fury will pave the way for the long-awaited showdown with Joshua. Describing the potential match as the 'World Cup final of boxing,' Brown expressed his enthusiasm, stating that it would be a phenomenal event. However, the timeline may be influenced by Joshua's decision to have a warm-up fight first, following his recent recovery from a car accident. Brown acknowledged that Joshua has a choice to make, either to have a tune-up fight or to proceed directly to training camp to prepare for the Fury match. The promoter emphasized that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, and it is up to Joshua to decide the next steps. Brown also extended an invitation to Joshua to attend Fury's upcoming match against Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, anticipating that Joshua will be in attendance.
