Overview
- Promoter Frank Warren outlined a likely path of tune‑up fights for both heavyweights before a potential Fury–Joshua meeting targeted for August or September 2026.
- After stopping Paul in round six, Joshua issued Fury an ultimatum to sign within 24 hours, while Eddie Hearn said he is ready to pursue the fight without interim bouts if both men agree.
- Joshua’s trainer Iegor Golub cautioned that AJ needs at least one more fight before facing Fury, calling Fury a dangerous and highly skilled opponent.
- Jake Paul underwent surgery for a broken jaw and later posted photos on a private jet displaying cash and firearms, drawing fresh attention to his post-fight conduct.
- Lennox Lewis claimed on air that Fury–Joshua “has been signed,” a statement at odds with promoters’ comments, as reports of huge purses circulated without full verification.
