Anthony Joshua drops huge hint on Tyson Fury fight date

Anthony Joshua has dropped a huge hint regarding when he plans to fight Tyson Fury.

Joshua was cheering on the runners at the London Marathon when the BBC asked him when he was planning on returning to the ring.

The heavyweight confirmed he was waiting to face the victor of Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk, with that undisputed heavyweight title fight set for May 18.

And boxing fans have long hoped for a fight between Fury and Joshua.

Joshua said: “Boxing is changing a lot, there is a new player, Turki Alalshikh, who is taking the world by storm.

“He is doing what he wants for the fans, it’s amazing.

“So if the fans demand it, I know that he will deliver. I know the fans want me and Fury, I want that.

“I’m not going to give away plans, but he is a man of action. It’s coming, most definitely it’s coming.”

Joshua also revealed he was likely to return to the ring in September

Asked if that is going to be his next fight, Joshua replied: “To be honest, he said be ready for September.

“Why he said that is because they have got a fight on June 1, all the heavyweights, five vs five, Eddie Hearn vs Frank Warren.

“And they have got Fury vs Usyk in May. And then they will have me in September. It’s unbelievable.”

AJ’s defeats to Usyk in 2021 and 2022 affected the chance of an imminent fight with Fury.

However, talks appear to be alive again with the 34-year-old having won his last four bouts, including a demolition of Francis Ngannou back in March.

Days ago Joshua met with Saudi promoter Turki Alalshik, with the pair subsequently posing for a photo.
