Overview
- Promoter Frank Warren has publicly proposed Wembley Stadium as the preferred venue, pointing to a summer window with September 2026 under consideration.
- Anthony Joshua called out Tyson Fury after stopping Jake Paul in Miami, a Netflix-streamed bout reported to have drawn 33 million viewers.
- Warren says a February meeting is unrealistic because Fury is on holiday, while Joshua is expected to box in Riyadh in February, with a crossover opponent such as Rico Verhoeven linked.
- Fury announced his retirement earlier this year after two defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, and Warren suggests an April return as a tune-up if financial requirements are satisfied.
- Eddie Hearn calls Fury the fight Joshua wants most, though both sides acknowledge tune-ups are likely and no contract or date has been agreed.
