Anthony Joshua has received the contract for his highly anticipated fight against Tyson Fury, although he may opt for a warm-up bout in July before their November showdown. Following his recent victory, Fury has already signed on for the all-British showdown and has challenged Joshua. However, Joshua's commitment to the fight remains uncertain due to his involvement in a recent car accident in Nigeria and speculation surrounding a potential warm-up fight.
Promoter Eddie Hearn stated, 'We received the contract last week and are reviewing it. Given the recent events in AJ's life, we want to ensure he's ready to return to the ring.' 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 possibility of Joshua facing both Wilder and Fury back-to-back.
