Anthony Joshua is poised to sign a contract for a highly anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury, although he may first participate in a warm-up bout in July before facing his British counterpart in November. Fury has already committed to the all-British super fight and issued a fresh challenge to Joshua following his victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that they received the contract last week and are currently reviewing it, with the boxer expected to receive medical clearance to resume full training soon.
Hearn anticipates Joshua's return to the ring in July, with a potential match against Deontay Wilder, before a possible showdown with Fury in November. While Wilder's camp has not engaged in discussions yet, Hearn expressed interest in arranging back-to-back fights against Wilder and Fury.
