Overview
- Fury’s promoter Frank Warren said he wants his fighter to take a warm-up bout and is aiming for a November date, preferably in the UK.
- Anthony Joshua has a tune-up scheduled in July in Riyadh against Kristian Prenga as a lead-in to the all-British matchup.
- Multiple reports last week said a deal or framework for the bout was finalized for later in 2026, though key details have not been set.
- Tyson Fury’s cutman Jamie Sheldon warned the fight could be 10 to 12 months away if both men take additional stay-busy bouts.
- Early betting at bet365 lists Fury as a slight favorite over Joshua, and some outlets report Netflix as a potential streamer even though broadcast plans remain unconfirmed.
