Tyson Fury Will Fight Anthony Joshua Under This Condition Says Frank Warren
Follow Us
The boxing world has its eyes fixed on Tyson Fury as we wait for the announcement of his next fight. While Deontay Wilder did state that he will be exercising the rematch clause, there is no confirmation regarding that yet.
Meanwhile, the best step for Fury to set his name down amongst the legends of the sport will be to win a title unification match. Anthony Joshua holds the key to unlocking Fury’s destiny. Thus, the other most significant option for Fury’s future is a fight with Anthony.

Speaking about the same, Eddie Hearn, Anthony’s promoter said, “I think the window is very small. And the window might be next. If Bob (Arum) came to us tomorrow and said, ‘great news, I’ve got Pulev to wait. Do you wanna do Fury?’, he’s done. For June/July.”
However, Frank Warren wants to make sure that Tyson Fury has the upper hand while negotiating the fight with Joshua. Tyson Fury’s camp wants a 50-50 split for a mega showdown with Anthony Joshua and rightfully so.
After the win over Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury has all the right to claim that he is the best heavyweight in the world at the moment. So it’s Joshua who needs to prove himself against Tyson Fury if he wants to call himself the best boxer of this generation. However, Tyson Fury will fight Anthony Joshua next only if Deontay Wilder does not ask for a trilogy fight.
🇬🇧 Frank Warren: "We want to get the fight on – on a 50/50 basis. Joshua needs Tyson, he's in his slipstream now. It's 'Fury vs Joshua', not 'Joshua vs Fury'. Joshua's got Tyson's belts he vacated. Tyson's the main man, but egos have got to go out the window." [@talkSPORT]

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua dependent on Deontay Wilder
Deontay Wilder is currently facing heavy criticism for the excuse he gave for his first loss. He blamed the costume he had on before the fight for his inability to perform well.

Nevertheless, Wilder remains the same guy who knocked out all 41 of his opponents, excluding Fury. The Bronze Bomber can exercise his right to a rematch according to a clause that provides him with the ability to do so within 30 days of the previous match.
And unsurprisingly, both Deontay Wilder and his manager have confirmed that the clause will be triggered. This comes as a huge hurdle in the plans of a unification match between Fury and Joshua, as Fury will have to make himself available for Wilder.

Eddie Fearn, reportedly, had even offered step-aside money to Wilder, but to no avail. Wilder is determined to exact vengeance and regain his WBC title.
Interestingly, it seems that the wait for Wilder’s announcement is also holding off the official signing for Anthony vs. Pulev. As mentioned earlier, Bob Arum is more invested in a title unification fight than anything else. Yet, if Wilder does trigger the rematch clause, Joshua will have to wait and carry on to fight Pulev.
