Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Fight Delay Fears Grow as New Plan Emerges
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua has moved closer to reality, but a final date has not yet been confirmed. The all-British heavyweight clash is now targeted for the last three months of 2026 and is expected to stream live on Netflix. The fight has been in discussion for years, with both fighters taking separate paths in the division.
Recent talks have brought both camps closer to an agreement, but scheduling still depends on upcoming bouts. Anthony Joshua will return first, while Tyson Fury could take another fight to stay active. Promoter Frank Warren confirmed that Fury wants to remain focused while waiting for Joshua’s July assignment to pass.
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua timeline depends on July fights
The Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua timeline remains linked to Anthony Joshua’s next bout. Joshua, 36, will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He holds a record of 29 wins and four losses, with 26 knockouts. The fight is part of a new deal in the Middle East and serves as preparation for the expected clash with Fury.
Frank Warren, in an interview, said Fury does not want to stay out of the ring for too long. “Tyson wants to stay active. He needs that focus in his life when it comes to boxing,” Warren said. “Right now, there isn’t a set date, especially with AJ fighting in July, so Tyson might decide to take another fight in the meantime.”
Warren added that early July could be considered for Fury. “July 2 could be an option, but nothing is confirmed,” he said. The timing of both fighters’ schedules will help decide when the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight can take place.
