Mattering on when Fury books his next bout, a Fury vs. Joshua fight sure seems harder to make in the fourth quarter of this year. It’s probably why “Gypsy King’s” cutman Jamie Sheldon offered up a grim timeline on when the long-awaited bout could happen.

“AJ has another warm-up fight and then fights Fury. Will Tyson also have another warm-up fight to stay active?” Sheldon said to Betway. “Then we are talking maybe 10 to 12 months before we see that fight, but let’s hope it happens after the next fight and takes place towards the end of the year.”

A fight finally happening well into 2027 after the recent announcement will surely disappoint UK boxing fans. However, Sheldon believes that no matter when the bout happens, it will be a huge success.

“I remember people were saying the same when Amir Khan and Kell Brook fought,” he recalled. “People said it was five or six years too late, but I was in Kell’s corner for the fight, and when it got announced, it instantly sold out. This fight will still sell out any stadium, no matter what, even if there are no titles on the line… People say just fight, but it’s a bit more complicated.”
