ANTHONY JOSHUA SAYS TYSON FURY 'MORE THAN LIKELY NEXT'

The long-awaited British heavyweight grudge match is almost there, but not quite yet.

Fury (35-2-1, 24 KOs) on Thursday declared he was the division's money man and after emerging unscathed with a lopsided decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov, openly called for Anthony Joshua to finally fight him next.

Midway through the night's action, Turki Alalshikh hinted an imminent announcement following the main event.

"Today we have a big surprise, I hope that we are going to announce the biggest fight in the history of England."

While the execution was far from faultless, you couldn't doubt the intent. During the post-fight presser, Fury's manager Spencer Brown stressed his confidence they would broker a deal sometime this year and said September would be the "perfect" month before pointing towards waiting for Joshua, claiming Fury had already signed.

Joshua (29-4, 25 KOs) has often doubled down on making the all-British grudge match happen and now being proactive, having publicly called Fury out at last year's Ring awards and after knocking out Jake Paul on Dec. 19.

Some reports suggest Wembley Stadium is the frontrunner for a spectacle of this magnitude, two former British world champions finally meeting in the ring after years of jawing outside it as sworn rivals.

Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, spoke of being in 'active negotiations' to broker the fight sometime this year but wanted an interim bout first and told reporters in New York this past week Deontay Wilder (45-4-1, 43 KOs) was an option after his grueling split decision win over retiring Derek Chisora last weekend.

They believe a deal could be agreed after original plans for each to have a warm-up fight were iced after Joshua was injured in a car accident in Nigeria, tragically killing two of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.

The 37-year-old returned to training recently, embracing some newfound camaradarie with Ring and unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, who outpointed him to claim the throne in 2021 before defending it 12 months later.

Dublin's 80,000-seat stadium Croke Park has also been discussed as a potential landing spot later this year. It's where retiring two-weight undisputed world champion Katie Taylor (25-1, 6 KOs) wants to end her illustrious career and the stadium's chief executive Peter McKenna told BBC Sport this week they're hopeful it can be made.

"The real hope is that we will get Fury here later in the year, such a world-billing event that we would be able to facilitate a Katie Taylor fight here. A lot of stars need to align," he said before highlighting the obvious, that their teams' management and promoters had to agree terms. If that is the case, Joshua wouldn't have an interim bout.

On the Netflix broadcast, he told Anna Woolhouse: "I'm going to be completely honest. There's a negotiation to go through. I've sat at this table many times, not here to chase clout. Contracts will be sent over and I'll more than likely be in the ring with him next.

"He's the one that retired. I've been in the game for 13 years, never retired. I make the big fights, that's what I said to him. He works for me. That could be a warm-up fight after what I saw tonight."

"I'm not ducking no one. I know what my job is, there's just real things going on in my life. I run the game, I'm a serious fighter and very strong as well. When I hit Fury I'm gonna hurt him bad. I have to [take a minute and do what's best for me]. I'm sorting some things out for my brothers and their family.

"I've been here a million times with him before. If I'm honest with you right now, until we're in the ring there is no fight with him. I've been here three or four times before with Wilder and Fury."

Sure he blitzed Paul after a 15-month layoff in their lucrative December mismatch, but Joshua hasn't boxed a world-ranked heavyweight since a damaging fifth-round stoppage defeat by Daniel Dubois in September 2024.

Should the former two-time unified heavyweight champion decide to take a warm-up fight prior as Matchroom have maintained is their wish, the event would be targeted for year's end and presumably on British shores.

Talks have persistently broken down previously, whether through extortionate fight purse demands, broadcaster disputes, boxing politics or even a Wilder-shaped arbitration case that went to court in 2020. However in the last three years, several must-see fights have finally come to fruition and this one edges closer to a conclusion.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Tyson Fury calls out Anthony Joshua, who doesn’t quite say ‘Yes’

Everyone knew this callout was coming — that Tyson Fury, after defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov, would call for a clash with fellow former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Everyone knew this well before Fury actually stepped into the ring with Makhmudov. They knew it before boxing financier Turki Alalshikh, earlier on during Netflix’s broadcast of Fury-Makhmudov, teased that he would be announcing the biggest fight in the history of British boxing.

Everyone knew it back when Fury first announced his comeback at the start of January, returning after retiring in 2025 following his two defeats the previous year to Oleksandr Usyk.

The plan at the time was for both men to take setup bouts. For Joshua, that was originally going to be against kickboxing star Rico Verhoeven. But Joshua was in a car crash in December, weeks after his knockout of Jake Paul, a tragic incident that killed two of Joshua’s close friends. Any conversations about what was next for “AJ” understandably needed to be tabled.

Usyk signed to face Verhoeven instead. Fury still proceeded with his return, headlining in a lucrative main event and nearly shutting out Makhmudov on the scorecards at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Joshua sat ringside, watching intently.

After being announced as the victor, Fury looked down over the ropes, and he and Joshua shook hands. Fury invited Joshua into the ring and AJ declined, saying “It’s your night”.

Soon, an in-ring interviewer asked Alalshikh about his announcement.

“It is the time,” Alalshikh said, calling for promoters allegedly of Queensberry Promotions and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom.

“Tyson, he’s the next,” Alalshikh said, pointing to Joshua.

Fury soon had the microphone. He thanked people and then quickly transitioned to that inevitable callout.

“Sixteen-month layoff and we fill up Tottenham again,” Fury said. “But like I said, let me get Arslanbek Makhmudov out of the way and we’ll talk next. Next I want to give you the fight you’ve all been waiting for. I want you, AJ, Anthony Joshua. Let’s give the fight fans what they want. The Battle of Britain. And here’s my challenge. I challenge you, Anthony Joshua, to fight me, The Gypsy King, next. Do you accept my challenge?”

Joshua just looked ahead.

Alalshikh was asked again about whether the fight would happen.

“It is not my call,” he said. “It is his call.”

Joshua still looked ahead. And then he was handed a microphone.

“Tyson, you’re a clout-chaser,” Joshua said from his ringside seat. “Tyson, I’ve never had no problem getting in the ring with you. I punched you up when we were kids, and after watching you here tonight, I’ll punch you up again.

“With all due respect, tonight is your night, and you know I’ll [be] across the ring from you in due time. You ain’t going to tell me what to do. I’ve been chasing you for the last 10 years. When you’re ready, you come and see me and you tell me your terms and conditions, and I’ll have you in the ring when I’m ready. I’m the boss. You work for me. I’m the landlord. Remember that. You work for me.”

The microphone was sent back in the ring to Fury.

“Listen, let’s give the fight fans what they want,” Fury said. “Ten years in the making, let’s fornicating dance.”

A few minutes later, Joshua was standing in the ring with an interviewer, explaining why he wasn’t immediately saying yes to the match.

“I’m going to be completely honest: there’s a negotiation that you go through,” he said. “I’ve sat at this table with him many times. In my heart, I’ll fight Tyson Fury tomorrow, especially after watching that. There’s no problem with me fighting. This is what I do. I’m not going to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, I’ll fight him’. I’m not here to get clout amid the fight.

“Contracts will be sent over. We'll go through the nitty-gritty, and you’ll probably see us in the ring next, more than likely. But I’m not here to start getting in the ring and shouting in someone’s face. If you look at my track record, I’ve never done that. I’m not here for clout. I watched the fight. I saw what I saw, and I know what I got to do when I get him in the ring.”

The Netflix interviewer mentioned that this potential fight between the two huge heavyweights has been sought for years.

“Exactly,” Joshua said. “Look, he’s the one that retired. I’ve been in the game. I’ve never retired. I've been standing strong for the last 13 years. It’s on him. He disappears, comes back, disappears, comes back. I’m standing strong. That’s why I’m not here to chase fame or chase hype. I’m a real person. I’ll fight whoever’s in front of me, whether it’s him or the next person. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m always in big fights. It’s just my style. I make the big fights. That’s why I said he works for me.”

Joshua was asked whether he would seek a tune-up bout before taking on Fury.

“Good question. [...] We’ll see,” Joshua said. “I was just in a serious incident, maybe four months [ago], so I need to really check out what’s going on with my return to the ring. But I’m here. I’m keeping my eye in the game. There’s real stuff happening in my life.

“I’m not knocking no one. I know what my job is. I know what I’m here to do. There’s just real stuff happening in my life that I was going to attend to. And once I’m 100 per cent, I’ll be ready. This is what I do. I run the game. Everybody knows I run the game. I’m a serious fighter, and I’m very strong as well. I think that when I hit Fury, I’ll hurt him bad.”

But the aftermath of the tragedy still is his main focus.

“I’m sorting some things out,” Joshua said. “My brothers [Joshua’s friends], with their parents and the brotherhood, are taking care of things at the minute. I got to put that first. That's my priority at the moment. Tyson Fury, if he’s serious, you’ll see me in the ring. The ball will be in his court.

“I’ve been there a million times. Once my name and signature is on the dotted line, then it’s a fight. At the minute there’s nothing on the dotted line. Neither is his. If I'm going to be honest with you, there’s no fight right now until our names are signed. Until that first bell rings, there’s no fight.

“I’ve been here three, four times [in negotiations] with [Deontay] Wilder and Fury. This is boring to me. For the guys at home, it’s exciting. I’ve been here loads of times. But it’s no problem. I like his fighting style. I think he’s good but I don’t think he’ll be able to cover me. It’ll be hard work for him.”

[Syntax Error]

Joshua looked as bored AF and I can't blame him, because he must be fed up of Fury's BS, ducking, excuses, retiring an unretiring every fortnight.

Ten years this tedious saga has been dragging on and they're still trying to hype it, as if we don't know who they are.

Joshua is clearly still grieving and it's not for me to tell a grown man what to do with himself, but I am not sure he should have been ringside for this.

He must have known that Fury would call him out and if he wasn't ready to commit whilst there, for obvious reasons, it would have been better to stay away.

[DrDuke]

Still a great matchup. Still Fury wins.

[willardx]

Ladbrokes offering 6/4 on aj to win against fury. Interesting, I'd think it would be closer than that.

[joshj909]

I think they both have another fight first if it does happen. Joshua definitely needs one as he's been out of action for a while. Someone like Zakhozhyi, Hughie or Ljungquist would probably be best as tall and/or agile boxers without KO power. Fury should look at Dubois or Ajagba.

[Controversial]

I still reckon Fury wins this, unless AJ catches him with huge punch Fury will likely keep moving and stop AJ from planting his feet.

[keithmoonhangover]

I don't give a toss who shouts from the ring, who works for who or who says what. They're just words, that's all it is.

AJ watched two of his best friends die and the after effects of that could last forever. If he feels the need to have a warm up fight, then Turki et al should accept that. Fury's supposed to be an advocate for mental health, so he of all people should understand the situation.

I found the whole thing well out of order

[londonwar]

Fury v aj at this stage is pointless. It's about as exciting to anticipate as Brooke v khan, embankment jnr v Benn, bellew v haye, or any of the Jake paul fights.

Fury's"mental health" decline was due to getting caught as a drug cheat so he went on a beer and coke binge. He doesn't understand the situation.

[Sammy Scaff]

Anyone know anything about Joshua being persona non grata around his hometown?

Terry often teases it on his Beyond Boxing podcast.

[Taansend]

If this is being proposed for September & they are also having the Mexico v the Rest of the World in September then I want to thank Turki for making my birthday month a good one.

[Taansend]

Anyone know anything about Joshua being persona non grata around his hometown?

Terry often teases it on his Beyond Boxing podcast.

It might be a reference to a court order he had as a teen after he was a naughty boy. That's why he went to live with his cousin in North London & then took up boxing.

Fury threatens retirement again if Joshua avoids fighting him now

With the ink on his contract to fight Anthony Joshua dry, Tyson Fury declared he will return to retirement if the all-British megafight does not happen next.

Fury ended his most recent ring hiatus on Saturday night when he widely outpointed Arslanbek Makhmudov in the main event of The Ring card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

 The clash, which Fury won via 120-108 shutout on two of the judges’ scorecards, was perhaps most notable for what happened afterwards. 
“I want to give the fans the fight you have all been waiting for,” he said. “I want you, AJ, Anthony Joshua. Let’s give the fans what they want, the Battle of Britain. Do you accept?”



But Joshua refused to engage, or even stand up from his seat, much less enter the ring for the sort of face-off which would have sent world boxing into a frenzy. Then, to further add to the sense of a missed opportunity, Joshua’s microphone was not audible for the 60,000 inside the stadium, many of whom booed.

 “You all saw what happened there,” Fury said an hour later at his press conference. “I've never mentioned Anthony Joshua in the whole build-up since his accident, gave him the respect he deserves and space, but tonight he came here for the job.

“I asked him to do the fight, he should've gone in there and did it, but in my opinion he didn't want no smoke. Didn't want it, looked shell shocked, didn't know what to say. Came ringside to make the fight and, yeah, if it was me I would've jumped in the ring.

 “This has been 10 years in the making and still, after all this time, there's uncertainty about if this fight's going to happen next.”



But Fury insists that, for his part, the agreement is done and dusted and his side of the deal is already signed. There is no purse split to get in the way as both fighters will agree to a financial figure that suits them instead of sharing a pot.

“I’ve signed, done,” he says. “I’m not interested in the money. I’ve got more money than anyone can spend in this room. Does it really matter?”

In an ideal world, Fury and his manager Spencer Brown envisage the fight with Joshua taking place in September with Wembley Stadium representing the most obvious venue for arguably the biggest fight in British boxing history to take place.

 However, with Joshua still contemplating a warm-up fight before stepping into the ring to face Fury, the five months until September don't represent a particularly long time.

Aside from his six-round knockout of YouTuber Jake Paul in December, Joshua has not fought since he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024. Joshua's life was rocked on Dec. 29 when he was in an automobile accident in Nigeria that caused the deaths of close friends Sina Ghami and Latif "Latz" Ayodele.

Joshua has confirmed he will fight on in their honor, but he has intimated that he needs a bit more time to get himself ready for a clash of that magnitude with Fury. A low-level run-out in the interim is required.

“It’s just another stumbling block," Fury said. "This has been 10 years in the making, what’s the hold up? He’s come off a win [vs. Paul], knocked a man spark out and broke his jaw, I’ve just come off a fight, let’s get it on. He’s 36, I’m 37, why keep postponing?

The problem is, taking interim fights you can get chinned by anybody. It's not like we're two flyweights and that much better than everyone else, even a journeyman can knock a good man out because they have power.”

Fury says he signed a deal to fight three times this year, starting with Makhmudov, but in a bid to force the issue, the Gypsy King now says he is not interested in the second outing being against anybody but Joshua.

“Here's the thing: If it ain't Anthony Joshua next, I'm not interested in boxing. I'll eat a thousand Easter eggs, go up to 35 stone [490 pounds], I'm out and not interested.

“Not up-and-comers or someone trying to prove a point over me, don't care. Don't care about rankings, belts, only AJ. That is the defining fight for British boxing. It's either going to happen or it's not.”

When asked whether he is happy to give him more time to decide his next move given what happened in that car crash in Lagos, Fury replied: “He's had his problems, we all have. I've attempted to kill myself before, been through it, one step out of mental institution. We all have problems. That's life unfortunately.

"If you're in this game, you're either a boxer or not.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

Darren Stanton, Body Language Expert: “Anthony Joshua’s reaction is really interesting, especially when you compare him to his own past behavior and how he presented earlier in his career.

“Joshua has changed quite a lot. He used to be regarded as being really humble, at least for a fighter, and then there was a tipping point where his ego came to the fore and some regarded him as becoming arrogant.

“The first thing I notice in his reaction to Tyson Fury is his posture. If you look at the way he’s sitting, he’s slouched back in the seat. His legs are wide apart. This is something that world leaders do.

“The more space that we occupy denotes how confident they feel, and how important they are, and that’s what Joshua is trying to tap into. He’s trying to make himself look bigger. That’s related to ego and I think it’s clear that ultimately Joshua has got a massive ego.

“He’s slouched back in the seat, his legs are open, he’s where his hands are positioned, it’s intended to project a sort of arrogance, but what is interesting is how he betrays his own body language too.

“His head was tucked right in. His chin was tucked right in. If this was a genuine feeling of supreme confidence, we’d see him sitting up more. We’d see him raising his chin up with a chin thrust, which is what Tyson does.

“Joshua is nowhere near as confident as he wants us to think he is. We see him pivot quite a lot in his seat too. That isn’t congruent with someone who feels supreme confidence either.

“I actually think from seeing this that Joshua is quite intimidated by Tyson. I don’t think he backs himself against him. It certainly wouldn’t be a walk in the park for Joshua and he knows it.

“So there are a number of key things we see to suggest he is trying to broadcast this cocky sort of bravado but it’s all contradicted by his head position, his twitchiness, and that’s not consistent with somebody who is truly confident.

“He just basically didn’t give a yes, which is what people wanted to hear. He sort of skated around it and if you notice his blink rate, if you watch it again, his blink rate when he’s saying his piece, his blink rate increases, which is linked to a change in emotion, and not in a good way.

“I don’t think Joshua was comfortable at all at that moment.”

[Ruthless-RKO]

Tyson Fury 'not interested' in boxing if Anthony Joshua isn't next

Tyson Fury said if he doesn't get to fight Anthony Joshua next he has no interest in continuing boxing.

Fury marked his return to the ring with a unanimous win over Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, boxing well and shaking off the ring rust after a 16-month hiatus.

Having already said earlier in the week he wanted to face Joshua next, Fury doubled down and emphatically called out his British rival.

Joshua didn't commit to the fight and refused to get in the ring with Fury, who made it clear he only wants to face Joshua next.

"Let's get the fight on. Here's the thing. If it ain't Anthony Joshua next, I'm not interested in boxing," Fury told his post-fight news conference.

"I'll eat a thousand Easter eggs go up to 35 stone. I'm out. I'm not interested. It's either him or I'm gone again.

"I'm not interested in up-and-comers, someone trying to prove a point over me, I don't care. I don't care about rankings. I don't care about belts. I only care now about AJ. That's the defining fight for British boxing."

A fight between the two former two-time heavyweight champions has been on-and-off for the best part of a decade.

However, negotiations have always fallen through, despite coming close to a 2021 bout -- a matchup that would have been for the undisputed title.

Promoter allegedly said Fury had signed and agreed to take the fight while his manager, Spencer Brown, said he believes the fight will "100% happen this year."

There was no indication where the fight would be held, with London's Wembley Stadium and Croke Park in Dublin floated as potential venues.

Despite Joshua's denial that the fight was definitely on, Netflix posted on social media that it would take place this autumn.

Joshua refused to engage in Fury's post-fight call out, instead remaining straight-faced and in his seat rather than getting in the ring.

"I'm going to be completely honest, there's a negotiation that you go through. I've sat at this table with him many times," Joshua said on Netflix.

"In my heart, I'll fight Tyson Fury tomorrow, especially after watching [this fight]. I'm not going to sit here and say: 'Yeah, I'll fight him.' I'm not here to get clout. I'm here to fight. Contracts will be sent over. We'll go through the nitty gritty and you'll probably see us in the ring next, more than likely."

Joshua said a fight in the interim is an option and he will need time to consider his next steps after being involved in a car crash in Nigeria in December that claimed the lives of two of his closest friends.

"I was just in a serious incident maybe four months ago," Joshua said. "So, I need to really check out what's going on with my return to the ring. But I'm here. I'm keeping my eye in the game. There's real stuff happening in my life. I'm not ducking no one.

"I know what my job is. I know what I'm here to do, but there's just real stuff happening in my life that I also got to attend to."

[KiwiRider]

Fůcking hell, Joshua could not have sold that less if he tried

Exactly what I was thinking.
Deer in the headlights, I'll say what you want, just leave me alone.

It was predictably cringe, and I think Joshua felt that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He’s basically saying if it’s not Joshua. Then he’s done.

[Pukka Cheese]

He’s basically saying if it’s not Joshua. Then he’s done.

Probably should have gone with this around the usyk 2 fight or AJ Vs Paul...

[tigermoth87]

It is obvious with that ring side callout that Joshua wants nothing to do with Fury. He about shat his kegs.
