Tyson Fury Sets Sights on Joshua Ahead of Netflix Return Against Makhmudov

His call points to a possible Joshua deal later this year if he wins on Saturday.

Overview

  • Tyson Fury, 37, returns Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a 16-month layoff, with the card streaming worldwide on Netflix.
  • Following Wednesday’s media session, he urged Anthony Joshua to fight him next and told him to forget Deontay Wilder.
  • Manager Spencer Brown said they will hold all talks until after the Makhmudov bout, though he expressed confidence a Fury–Joshua fight can be made.
  • Arslanbek Makhmudov, a Canada-based Russian with a 21-2 record and 19 knockouts, is a heavy hitter who drew notice for a video of him wrestling a bear.
  • The undercard features Conor Benn vs. Regis Prograis, and any Joshua negotiations would likely weigh large stadiums and Saudi financing that promoters have discussed.
