Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Set to Clash in Boxing's Ultimate Showdown This Year

Manager Spencer Brown confirms that Tyson Fury is on track to face Anthony Joshua this year, with a victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being the first step. Brown describes the potential Fury-Joshua bout as the 'World Cup final of boxing,' emphasizing that it's an event that has been long-awaited and is now overdue. While Joshua may opt for a warm-up fight first, Brown stresses that the time for the big showdown is now, and it's up to Joshua to decide whether to proceed directly or take a detour. The highly anticipated fight between Fury and Joshua has been in the making for a long time, with both fighters having come close to facing each other before. However, the wait could be extended if Joshua chooses to take a tune-up bout, considering his recent recovery from a car accident. Brown believes that Joshua has two options: either take a warm-up fight and then face Fury or go straight into training camp and prepare for the big fight. The promoter has invited Joshua to attend Fury's upcoming bout against Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, an event that could potentially pave the way for the ultimate showdown.
