Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could finally meet.
A target date has been set for the proposed showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Fury has arrived in Saudi Arabia for his undisputed clash against Oleksandr Usyk, which is slated for May 18.
He landed in the Middle East without a key family member in his team.
Joshua, meanwhile, is coming off a devastating win over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou and looks set to return to action in September.
Providing the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ beats Usyk, then Joshua could finally meet his heavyweight rival in an all-British dust-up.
Saudi Arabia chief Turki Alalshikh is the mastermind behind a potential Fury vs. Joshua fight as he’s eyeing it for March 2025, per ESPN.
A monstrous clash between Fury and Joshua could take place in Saudi Arabia or England.
As for the contracted rematch between Fury and Usyk, Alalshikh is lining up the rematch for October 12 or October 13.
But their second meeting will be without the IBF world title as the governing body ruled that Filip Hrgovic’s mandatory title shot as No.1 contender is overdue, meaning he could fight for the vacant belt when he takes on Daniel Dubois on June 1.
However, Hrgovic has been linked with a fight with Joshua, who could enter a potential fight against Fury with undisputed status on the line should he beat the Croatian star if they fought this year.
What’s more, if Fury and Usyk split the two fights, the rubber match could take place later in 2025 after Fury vs. Joshua.
On Fury vs. Usyk, Joshua is predicting a win for his former foe, who has two wins over him.
“I’ve fought Usyk so I can only speak on what I’ve experienced with him – phenomenal fighter, I would say he’s gonna do a really good job,” he said.
“I’ve never fought Fury, so I can’t speak on what it’s like to face him. Only speaking on what I know, I have to say Usyk will be victorious.”
