Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Set for Highly Anticipated Showdown This Year

According to Tyson Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, a fight 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 over Makhmudov 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 would be a phenomenal event. However, the timeline may be affected if Joshua decides to have a warm-up fight first, following his recent recovery 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 fight. The wait for the Fury-Joshua fight could be extended, but 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.' Meanwhile, Fury is focused on his upcoming fight against Makhmudov, which Brown described as a 'very, very hard fight' due to Makhmudov's impressive amateur record and punching power. The outcome of this fight will be crucial in determining the fate of the Fury-Joshua showdown.
