Following Tyson Fury's recent victory, he has signed a contract for a major all-British fight against Anthony Joshua. However, Joshua may first take part in a warm-up bout in July. Promoter Eddie Hearn stated that they have received the contract and are reviewing it, considering Joshua's readiness to return to the ring after a serious car accident in Nigeria. The original plan was to fight in March, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the date has been pushed back.
Hearn expects Joshua to return to the ring in July, with a potential fight against Deontay Wilder, before facing Fury in November. Wilder has expressed interest in fighting Joshua, and Hearn is open to the idea of Joshua facing both Wilder and Fury back-to-back.
