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

According to manager Spencer Brown, Tyson Fury is expected to face off against Anthony Joshua later this year. Brown, who is also promoting Fury's upcoming bout against Arslanbek Makhmudov, believes a victory for Fury will set the stage 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 wait for the fight could be extended if Joshua decides to take a warm-up bout first, as he is currently recovering from a car accident. Brown noted that Joshua has two options: to have a warm-up fight and then face Fury, or to go straight into training and prepare for the big fight. The promoter emphasized that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, and that it's up to Joshua to decide when he's ready to face Fury. With Makhmudov posing a significant challenge to Fury, Brown acknowledged that the upcoming bout is a crucial one, describing it as a 'potential banana skin.' The promoter has invited Joshua to attend Fury's fight against Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and expects him to be there.
