Fury and Joshua Set for Boxing's Biggest Showdown This Year

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 win for Fury will pave the way for the long-awaited fight against Joshua. Describing the potential matchup as the 'World Cup final of boxing,' Brown expressed his enthusiasm, stating that it would be a phenomenal event. The fight has been in the making for a long time, and Brown is confident that it will happen this year, although the timeline may be affected if Joshua decides to have a warm-up fight first. Joshua is currently recovering from a car accident and has recently beaten YouTuber Jake Paul in a December bout. Brown acknowledged that Joshua has two options: to have a warm-up fight or to go straight into training to face Fury. The promoter emphasized that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, and it's now up to Joshua to make his decision. Meanwhile, Fury is focused on his upcoming fight against Makhmudov, which Brown described as a challenging and potentially hazardous bout. Makhmudov has a strong amateur record, is known for his punching power, and has a background in wrestling. Brown has invited Joshua to attend Fury's fight against Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he expects Joshua to be there.
