Fury and Joshua Set for Boxing's Biggest Showdown This Year, Says Promoter

Tyson Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, has confirmed that a highly anticipated fight between Fury and Anthony Joshua will take place this year, with Brown describing it as the 'World Cup final of boxing'. A victory for Fury over Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday could pave the way for the long-awaited showdown. Brown expressed his enthusiasm, stating that the time for the fight has finally arrived, and it will be a phenomenal event. However, the wait could be extended if Joshua decides to take a warm-up bout first, as he is still recovering from a car accident. Brown believes Joshua has two options: to take a warm-up fight or to go straight into training camp and face Fury. He emphasized that Fury is ready whenever Joshua is, and it's up to Joshua to decide the next step. Brown also acknowledged that Makhmudov will be a tough opponent for Fury, but he hopes he won't derail their plan. The promoter has invited Joshua to Saturday's event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and he expects him to be there.
