Both World champions are currently contracted to fight their respective opponents in Deontay Wilder and Kubrat Pulev. Tyson Fury will defend his WBC strap against Wilder, while Joshua will put his WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO belts on the line against Kubrat Pulev.

After their respective battles, the heavyweight matchup might happen. Thus, Fury vs Joshua is still off the charts for now. However, if the duo wants it to happen, boxing fans can witness the heavyweight feud for sure.
