Anthony Joshua has confirmed that he will wait for a potential fight with Tyson Fury, indicating he is willing to be patient for the high-profile matchup. Despite previous discussions and anticipation for the bout, Joshua’s team is prepared to ensure the fight happens at the right time, possibly in early 2024. Both fighters have expressed interest in facing each other, making this a highly anticipated clash in the heavyweight boxing landscape.
Former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is set to wait longer for his anticipated fight with Tyson Fury as he plans his return to the ring following a significant setback. Joshua suffered a fifth-round knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September, marking a tough moment in his career. Despite this loss, promoter Eddie Hearn maintains that Joshua remains “arguably still the biggest star in the heavyweight division,” suggesting that a bout with Fury could be on the horizon for the British boxer.
Eddie Hearn expressed optimism about a potential fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, stating, “I think Fury, win or lose, will want to fight AJ next and that’s something we’ve got to decide,” which raises hopes for the long-awaited all-British showdown. However, Frank Warren, Fury’s co-promoter, has cast doubt on Joshua’s immediate prospects in the heavyweight division, emphasizing that Joshua needs to rebuild his credibility before pursuing such a high-profile matchup. This situation highlights the complexities surrounding the heavyweight landscape and the paths both fighters may take moving forward.
