Fury and Joshua Set for Blockbuster Bout This Year, Says Promoter

Tyson Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, has revealed that a highly anticipated match between Fury and Anthony Joshua is expected to take place this year. According to Brown, a victory for Fury in his upcoming fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could pave the way for the long-awaited showdown with Joshua. Brown described the potential fight as the 'World Cup final of boxing,' emphasizing that it's an event that has been desired for a long time. However, the timeline may be influenced by Joshua's decision to have a warm-up fight first, as he recovers from a recent car accident. Brown acknowledged that Joshua has a crucial decision to make, either to proceed with a warm-up fight or to directly face Fury. The promoter expressed his confidence that the fight will happen this year, stating that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is. Brown also extended an invitation to Joshua to attend Fury's upcoming bout, anticipating that he will be present at the event.
