Anthony Joshua Set to Face Tyson Fury, But a July Warm-Up Fight May Come First

Anthony Joshua is poised to face Tyson Fury in a highly anticipated bout, but may first take on a warm-up fight in July. Fury has already signed on for the fight and recently challenged Joshua after defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov. However, Joshua's involvement in a serious car accident in Nigeria, which resulted in the deaths of his friends, has led to speculation that he may take a tune-up fight before facing Fury in November. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Joshua has received the contract for the Fury fight and is awaiting medical clearance to resume full training. Hearn expects Joshua to return to the ring in July, with a potential fight against Deontay Wilder being considered. Wilder has expressed interest in facing Joshua, and Hearn has stated that they are open to a back-to-back fight against Wilder and then Fury.
