Thus, Fury needs to make himself available when The Bronze Bomber calls. This inevitably puts a screeching halt to all hopes for an early unification match.

Acting along the same lines, Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn stated that the fight with Kubrat Pulev is now officially on. The two will lock horns on 20 June 2020. Earlier, the official signing for the event had been put on pause, just in case Wilder decided to back out.

But we know Wilder better than that. He has stated enough times for everyone to understand by now. He is a warrior. And he will come to get his WBC title back from the Gypsy King.

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua pushed to November-December

While the title unification match cannot take place in June, it is still one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures. Thus, to keep the hype going, Eddie has already announced the tentative date for the postponed fixture.
