Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has some exciting news for boxing fans all over the world. The outspoken promoter has given confirmation that the WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury will fight Anthony Joshua next. This is a fight that all fans want to see as it will give the division an undisputed champion and serve as a blockbuster event.

Speaking to TalkSPORT about the heavyweight division after Alexander Povetkin tested positive for coronavirus, Warren gave an update on the situation. This comes after fans were calling for a Fury-Whyte match up. Speaking on negotiating with Matchroom, he said, “He’s made that very clear, even before he faced Povetkin. All we’re interested in is getting to face Anthony Joshua after he gets through his next fight. That’s the only heavyweight Matchroom has we’re interested in.”

So how can the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua fight actually happen?

Anthony Joshua will face IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev on December 12 in the UK. It will be a difficult fight for ‘AJ’ but nonetheless, one that many will expect him to get through. Tyson Fury will fight on December 5 against Agit Kabayel. Although, there is yet to be any confirmation about the same, ‘The Gypsy King’ will be fighting someone by the end of the year.

Provided the two get through their next two fights, then fans could actually see the fight happening. A time-frame for the fight is, however, very difficult to predict. The earliest it could be is April 2021. Although it all depends on the way their next bouts in December take place.

Either way, this is welcome news to fans. They can actually look forward to seeing two of the best heavyweights in the same ring, and much sooner than some would have expected. This is a fight that no one would want to be behind closed doors.

So, we think this fight will be at least in the middle of the next year; maybe by then, the UK will allow fans to attend sporting events. Keep your eyes peeled; one of the greatest match-ups in heavyweight boxing seems to be taking shape.
