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

Anthony Joshua is poised to sign a contract for a highly anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury, although he may opt for a warm-up bout in July before clashing with his British rival in November. Fury has already committed to the all-British mega fight, issuing a fresh challenge to Joshua following his recent victory. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that they received the contract last week and are currently reviewing it, while also considering a potential July fight to ensure Joshua is adequately prepared. Hearn expressed that Joshua is nearing full recovery from a car accident and is expected to resume training soon. A possible July opponent for Joshua could be Deontay Wilder, with Hearn suggesting that they are open to a back-to-back fight schedule against Wilder and then Fury. However, Wilder's camp has denied any discussions taking place, with his co-manager stating that he would like to discuss the matter with Hearn before making any comments.
