Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Fight Nears Reality as Talks Hit Final Stage

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight backed by Saudi deal

The Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight is expected to be funded by Saudi boxing adviser Turki Alalshikh. Once the agreement is signed, control of the event will move to Saudi organizers.

“Once we sign up for that agreement, it is over to Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh for the staging. We will be promoting for July; I would think that the November fight or whatever it will be, will be promoted by Saudi company Sela.”

“AJ and I, Tyson Fury, we’ll have a contract where [Alalshikh] is basically funding the fight. It’s up to him where it is.”

There is still hope that the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight could take place in the United Kingdom. Hearn said the goal is to deliver a major event for fans and suggested that the location will match the scale of the fight.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight was influenced by Usyk talks

The Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight has also been shaped by input from Oleksandr Usyk. Hearn confirmed that Usyk was involved in discussions about Joshua’s next steps.

“I am sure they won’t mind me saying it, [a lot of this has come from Oleksandr Usyk]. He was part of these conversations, and the conversations were absolutely: ‘He is having a comeback fight.’”

Usyk’s role helped define the plan for Joshua to take a July fight before facing Fury. The timing also aligns with Fury’s recent return and current activity in the division.

Fury has not fought regularly in recent years and has spoken about retirement. Joshua, meanwhile, has continued training and is preparing for a return that could lead straight into the biggest fight of his career.

The Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight remains unsigned, but negotiations are now at the final stage. If contracts are completed, the schedule is already in place. July will mark Joshua’s return, and November could finally deliver the heavyweight clash that has been discussed for years.
