Fury vs AJ: Promoter Predicts 'Boxing's World Cup Final' This Year

According to Tyson Fury's manager Spencer Brown, a highly anticipated matchup between Fury and Anthony Joshua is expected to take place this year. Brown, who is also promoting Fury's upcoming bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov, believes a victory for Fury will set the stage for the long-awaited showdown with Joshua. Describing the potential fight as the 'World Cup final of boxing,' Brown expressed his enthusiasm, stating that it would be a phenomenal event. However, the timeline may be affected if Joshua decides to have a warm-up fight first, as he is currently recovering from a car accident. Brown noted that Joshua has two options: to have a tune-up fight or to go straight into training camp to prepare for the Fury bout. Emphasizing that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, Brown stated that the ball is in Joshua's court. The highly anticipated fight has been in the works for a long time, and Brown is eager to see it happen this year, saying, 'We've had the starter, let's have the main course now and let's get it done.' Fury's upcoming fight against Makhmudov is crucial, as a win will bring him one step closer to the coveted matchup with Joshua. Brown has extended an invitation to Joshua to attend the event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he expects Joshua to be there.
