A highly anticipated bout between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is on the horizon, with Joshua possessing the contract for the fight. However, it's possible that Joshua may participate in a warm-up fight in July before facing Fury in November. Fury has already signed on for the all-British showdown and recently issued a challenge to Joshua following his victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov. Joshua's commitment to the fight remains uncertain due to his involvement in a car accident in Nigeria and speculation about a potential warm-up bout.
Promoter Eddie Hearn stated that Joshua is nearing full recovery and is expected to return to the ring in July, with a possible match against Deontay Wilder. Hearn expressed interest in scheduling fights against Wilder and Fury back-to-back, although Wilder's camp claims no discussions have taken place.
