Fury vs AJ: Promoter Claims Boxing's Biggest Bout to Happen This Year

According to Tyson Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, a highly anticipated match between Fury and Anthony Joshua is set to take place this year. Brown, who is also promoting Fury's upcoming fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov, believes a victory for Fury will pave the way 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's now time for the bout to happen. However, the wait could be extended if Joshua decides to take a warm-up fight first, as he recovers from a recent car accident. Brown noted that Joshua has two options: to take a warm-up fight or go straight into training to face Fury. The promoter emphasized that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, and it's up to Joshua to decide the next steps. Brown also invited Joshua to attend Fury's upcoming fight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he will face Makhmudov in a challenging bout that could potentially derail their plans for a Fury-Joshua match.
