  • Anthony Joshua is slated to fight in Saudi Arabia in February, with links to a crossover bout against kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven.
  • Joshua’s sixth-round stoppage of Jake Paul in Miami drew about 33 million viewers on Netflix and was followed by a direct callout of Fury.
  • Warren says Wembley is the preferred venue, though Riyadh remains in play depending on financial terms and Fury’s stated requirements.
  • Eddie Hearn reiterates that Fury is the target for Joshua, with Joshua noting behind-the-scenes discussions involving Riyadh Season chief Turki Al‑Sheikh.
