Anthony Joshua has received the contract for his highly anticipated match against Tyson Fury, but he may opt for a warm-up fight in July before facing his British counterpart in November. Fury has already signed the contract and recently challenged Joshua following his victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, Joshua's commitment to the fight remains uncertain due to his involvement in a car accident in Nigeria, which resulted in the tragic loss of his friends. Promoter Eddie Hearn stated that they are reviewing the contract and awaiting Joshua's clearance to resume full training.
Hearn expects Joshua to return to the ring in July, with possible opponents including Deontay Wilder, before potentially facing Fury in November.
