Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua | NETFLIX - Winter 2026

[THE ALTERNATIVE]

Attempting to beat Anthony Joshua is a more stylistically difficult fight for Tyson Fury, than Oleksandr Uysk 'there is a reason why many years ago? Tyson Fury avoided Anthony Joshua, and instead chose to fight Deontay Wilder. Who was at that time deemed the more stylistically easier fight to win'.

Note: Anthony Joshua is a proven elite level super heavyweight fighter 'and in my opinion? The only heavyweight of this era, who has both elite level power, and elite level boxing ability. No other heavyweight of this era, has those attributes in combination'.

Oleksandr Uysk is a great boxer skill for skill 'but he does not have elite level punching power'.

Deontay Wilder has elite level punching power 'but he is not technically skill for skill an elite level boxer'.

Anthony Joshua when you analyse him as a fighter 'at his peak and best, is potentially a more complete fighter than Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Uysk'.

The challenge for Anthony Joshua is bringing all those attributes together on fight night 'and executing a performance'.

But when he does? You have all seen what happens 'Anthony Joshua has shared three common opponents with Tyson Fury. And those opponents are, Wladimir Kiltschko, Otto Wallin, and Francis Ngannou'.

Each time, Anthony Joshua has outperformed Tyson Fury 'and beat all of those common opponents either more impressively or conclusively'. Why? Because when Anthony Joshua unleashes his maximum potentially he is a more destructive and better fighter than Tyson Fury'.

Francis Ngannou beat Tyson Fury over 10 rounds 'Anthony Joshua obliterated Ngannou inside 2 rounds'.

Otto Wallin busted up Tyson Fury real good, and pushed him right to the line 'Joshua beat up and forced a stoppage vs. Wallin inside 5 rounds'.

Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Kiltschko in an underwhelming 12 round fight, great win historically but the action of the fight has been completely overrated '17 months later it was Anthony Joshua who stepped up, and beat Wladimir Kiltschko in the greatest heavyweight title fight of the past 25 years. Knocking him out and forcing him to retire'.

To conclude: When and if both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fight 'I am strongly backing Joshua to win by knockout or stoppage'.

I still would not be surprised if Tyson Fury manufactures a way to get out of this fight 'all the signs are already there, if? Joshua was such an easy fight, why is he so serious all of the sudden? Tyson Fury is apprehensive' of Anthony Joshua'.

I think Tyson Fury has been forced into this fight via public pressure 'he has not world titles anymore to use to avoid Anthony Joshua. Because that is all he done with his WBC title'.

I would not rate it as the biggest British fight of all-times in terms of historical significance, but it is still a mega fight etc.

I don't think Joshua has a lot of Boxing ability really. Not as much as he has power. He's always had a leaky defense, but he's still powerful and can Crack with both hands and that alone takes you far. No question he hits harder than Fury, but can he land as often as Fury?

[Evander]

They just want to get Fury v Joshua over the line while they can.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

- Nobody but Turki would want Blubber vs Joshua.

AJ has made a vast fortune as a KO artist, but he never had a decent trainer not to mention his injuries in that massive traffic accident. Time for him and Usyk to retire and let the new studs sort out the titles. Hanging on past prime is a losing proposition almost every time.

In the amateur ranks, Anthony Joshua was a World Championship Silver Medallist and the 2012 Olympic Champion 'Tyson Fury's most notable, and best known achievement in the amateur ranks was being beaten by David Price. Which is no disrespect, because at the time of that fight? David Price was a highly ranked amateur fighter'.

Note: Tyson Fury has been decked and beaten up at all levels in the professional ranks 'Anthony Joshua has only been beaten by World Champions, and decked by fighters of that calibre'.

Yes! He did have a terrible performance vs. Daniel Dubois 'in terms of making unforced errors and technical mistakes. But really in my opinion, that is the only fight where I can discredit his boxing ability'.

In the 24 rounds both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua fought vs. Oleksandr Uysk 'Joshua from a statistical perspective, arguably performed better than Fury'.

The highest amount of punches Oleksandr Uysk was able to land on each fighter was 179 punches on Tyson Fury and 170 punches on Anthony Joshua 'But? In order to achieve this vs. Anthony Joshua he had to throw almost 300 more punches. Uysk threw over 700 + punches in his rematch vs. Joshua'.

So Oleksandr Uysk was throwing less punches vs. Tyson Fury 'but landing a higher amount as he was vs. Anthony Joshua. Those statistics suggest that Joshua is a far better boxer than many people want to give him credit for at top level'.

I don't think there is any evidence that Tyson Fury is a miles better boxer than Anthony Joshua 'that is why it is stylistically a very difficult fight for Fury. He does not have any of his so called advantages that he had vs. Oleksandr Usyk or Deontay Wilder. He does not outweighed Joshua by 40 to 60 pounds, and he is not the physically stronger fighter in terms of brute strength'.

Me personally I always believed that Oleksandr Uysk 'although he was outweighed by Fury, was still potentially the stronger fighter in terms of brute strength. And he was definitively the better athlete, which was why it was difficult for Fury to fight a big man style fight i.e. like the way Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Kiltscko and Vitali Kiltschko would do at their peak vs. classically physique Heavyweight fighters'.

Those are two attributes which Fury has relied on in his fights vs. Deontay Wilder and Oleksandr Uysk 'that dynamic does not exist in the fight vs. Anthony Joshua'.

To conclude: Anthony Joshua is a Super Heavyweight fighter 'with proven elite level power, and elite level boxing ability. If you go through his entire career, 90 to 95% of the fighters he has fought? Have been unable to win rounds vs. him consistently. Kiltschko, Ruiz I, Uysk, Dubois. Those are the only fighters who have been able to win round vs. Anthony Joshua'.

Joshua was severely concussed vs. Ruiz Junior I, and even Dubois 'and he was still able to win rounds, and stay in the fight'.

We have seen Tyson Fury get pushed right to the line at domestic level, European level, and World level time and time again 'but people want to overlook it''.

He was beaten by Francis Ngannou in a boxing match 'he was pushed to the line by Otto Wallin in a boxing match. He has been decked and beating up, at domestic, European and World level. Those are the facts'.

In my opinion Anthony Joshua has always been stylistically the most difficult fight for Tyson Fury at heavyweight during his career 'Tyson Fury and his team know this, that is why they are preparing with another fight before than collide with Anthony Joshua' etc.

Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury location: 'The UK is a front runner'

The proposed battle between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is being teed up to land in Britain in November, according to Eddie Hearn. America, however, could yet play host.

Contracts have finally been signed for the long-awaited showdown but there are still obstacles to clear. Joshua, 29-4 (26 KOs), must first defeat Kristian Prenga on July 25 and Fury, though nothing is yet finalised, is also hoping to have a fight in the interim. The former heavyweight champion, who returned to action in April with a lopsided 12-round points victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov to take his record to 35-2-1 (24 KOs), had previously indicated he would appear on Queensberry's August 1 event in Dublin.

Should both win their respective bouts they would set up a huge contest in November. The two Britons have teased their rivalry for nearly a decade.

Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi paymaster who persuaded both to at last put pen to paper, will have full control over where the contest takes place. Wembley Stadium would be the obvious pick considering the size of the event involving two Englishman, but Hearn revealed earlier this week that the US, due to Britain's erratic climate, is also in play for the bout.

“Of course the UK is a front runner, but it is in November as well,” Hearn told Boxing Scene. “And the fight will take place wherever Turki Alalshikh chooses for the fight to take place, he's the one covering the bill so it's up to him. We would all love the fight to take place in the UK. If it's in America, no problem, but I think they're the two likely countries.”

Dana White: 'Ask Eddie Hearn if he knows what I know about Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua'

From Don King and Bob Arum going at it for years and Eddie Hearn and allegedly following suit, the hot new promoter feud is between Hearn and Zuffa Boxing boss Dana White.

Following the bruising battle between Chris Billam-Smith and Ryan Rozicki in Bournemouth, White addressed some media questions about Hearn, who had a show on at the same time in Sheffield topped by Josh Padley-Aqib Fiaz.

The back-and-forth through the media has become more intense, and one significant discrepancy between the sides is who will promote the proposed fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Both Warren and Hearn have said White will not be involved. But the UFC boss maintains he will promote it.

“Have they announced where that fight is? No. I know where it is,” White said, when pressed by ProBoxing Fans.

“Watch what happens over the next 30 days.”

“You think that I would publicly lie and then look like a fornicating idiot in front of everybody? So do you believe that? Do you believe that I would? What would be the point of that? ‘I was lying, everybody!’ ‘I got you, right?’ What would be the point of that? Call Eddie right now and ask him if he knows where the fight is. Call Eddie and ask him who negotiated the contract for the fight. It wasn’t him.”

Hearn has started managing UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, and has said he won’t let Aspinall fight under the terms of his current contract.

“Let’s see how it all happens,” White said. “I mean, if Eddie’s not going to let his fighter fight, what are you going to do? You can’t make anybody fight. You can’t force anybody to fight. You have to want to fight. So we’ll see how it plays out. Eddie, who apparently, you know, [Conor] Benn [who left Hearn’s Matchroom for Zuffa] was his best friend. Eddie’s been crying, literally crying for weeks, ‘Oh, you’re my best friend.’ He didn’t even want to pay him, but he wants to pay my guy [Aspinall]. He could have paid his best friend. They could have remained best friends… Eddie’s full of a lot of shit.”

White was then asked that, with Queensberry and Matchroom considering running back their 5x5 event, he would do something similar with either entity.

“No, not really. These guys that hated each other six months ago are all working together now. It’s me versus all of them,” he added. “So I don’t think you will see anything like that.”

Asked further about the Aspinall situation, White continued: “He said that he wanted him released [from his UFC contract], right? You release Bam Rodriguez then? Sounds pretty stupid, doesn’t it? Congratulations again, Eddie. You sound stupid again.”

White then furthered his vision for boxing, and how he plans to go about it, with dates set to be added to both his Paramount and Sky Sports deals.

“Well, what starts to happen is as we rip the sport apart and start to build from the ground up with nights like tonight, it starts to create all these different storylines and starts to line up different fights,” he explained. “And the fans and the media start to talk about what they want to see next. You know, we have a Sky deal, which is a very big deal to us. So we’ll be in the UK a lot. And already this year in the United States, we’re going to be adding more fights to Paramount. I mean, we’re five months into this thing and we’re already adding more shows on our Paramount deal and I hope the same thing happens with Sky. We’ve got a lot of big announcements coming up over the next month. So you’re going to expect lots of big things coming from us.”

White also said a lawsuit from Boxxer claiming Zuffa Boxing had taken some of their fighters was not true and that would play out publicly, but he made it clear he was not playing the sandbox with other boxing promoters.

“People always ask me about, ‘oh, you’re competing with this guy.’ Right now, at the level that we’re at, we’re competing with the NFL, we’re competing with the NBA, we’re competing with Major League Baseball and the NHL. You got to imagine, in the United States, the powerhouse over there is the NFL. And I’m sure when the NFL, when they were sitting in executive offices and they saw the deal that we got with Paramount, they had to be thinking, ‘Wait a minute, there was $8 billion sitting over at Paramount that we didn’t get.’ And then, when you go outside the United States, you start competing with soccer.

“When I think about my competition, those are the people that I’m looking at as competition these days. Over the next month, the announcements that we make over the next month and then, like I said, judge us January 1st at the end of this year, beginning of next year on how we’ve done this year.”

Asked also about when the WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Benn might take place, White added: “Soon. A lot of fun things coming up over the next month.”

Anthony Joshua undercard: Josh Kelly and Hamzah Sheeraz lined up for July 25

Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed two world championship bouts could take place on the undercard of Anthony Joshua-Kristian Prega on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Joshua will make his return for the first time since his involvement in a car accident that claimed the lives of two of his closest friends in December. Only days before, Joshua had completed a six-round thrashing of Jake Paul.

The Jeddah card will be funded by Saudi boxing financier Turki Alalshikh and will subsequently come with a bumper undercard. Hearn, whose Matchroom Boxing will be the lead promoter of the event, has revealed two world champions could make their maiden defenses.

Hamzah Sheeraz, who picked up the WBO super middleweight title last month, and Josh Kelly, who claimed the IBF junior middleweight belt back in January and is expected to fight Caoimhin Agyarko.

“I think there could be two world championship fights on the undercard,” Hearn told Boxing Scene. “Hamzah Sheeraz may be one of those as well. Obviously we'll talk to allegedly and Spencer Brown [Sheeraz’s prmoter and manager] and everybody, and Josh Kelly could feature on there as well. That'll be announced this coming week.”

Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury could land in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium

The long-anticipated heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could land at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, Boxing Scene has learned.

Two officials briefed on conversations involving Saudi Arabian boxing financier Turki Alalshikh during last month’s Pyramids of Giza card in Egypt headlined by heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk said SoFi Stadium was mentioned as a preferred destination for the bout.

While many Brits want the battle pitting the rival two-time heavyweight champions staged in their native UK, doing so at an outdoor soccer stadium in the fall or winter would make the major event prone to bad weather.

And while there are other questions connected to the potential placement of the bout in the western US – including British fans’ willingness to travel to Los Angeles en masse, whether Fury can now enter America, and ticket pricing – SoFi Stadium is covered and accustomed to major sporting showcases.

The stadium, which will host eight matches at the upcoming World Cup and the Super Bowl in February, can be scaled to accommodate a crowd of 100,000, with 70,240 seats for NFL games.

According to one individual briefed on the matter, the preference is for Joshua-Fury to be placed in an NFL stadium in an area of the country with widespread boxing interest.

Alalshikh brought his first US boxing card to Los Angeles, with five-division champion Terence Crawford defeating Israil Madrimov at BMO Stadium for the WBA 154lbs title in August 2024.

Crawford defeated Canelo Alvarez in another Riyadh Season card in September at the Las Vegas Raiders’ home, Allegiant Stadium.

Fury, 35-2-1 (24 KOs), has fought before in Los Angeles, miraculously rising in the final round against then-WBC champion Deontay Wilder to preserve a December 2018 draw at Staples Center, now known as Crypto.com Arena.

Joshua, 29-4 (26 KOs), has fought twice in the US, knocking out Jake Paul last December in Miami and, in June 2019, suffering a shocking defeat to Andy Ruiz Jnr in 2019 at Madison Square Garden.

Joshua, 36, returns to action July 25 in Saudi Arabia versus Kristian Prenga, seven months after surviving a fatal car crash in Nigeria that left two of his friends dead.

Fury, 37, has said he will fight again August 1 in Dublin, Ireland, before the showdown with Joshua that’s being eyed for later in the year.

Boxing Scene reported first that Netflix is planning to stream the event, and Zuffa Boxing head Dana White repeated over the weekend that his promotion will handle the event despite objections of Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn and Fury promoter allegedly.

It’s logical that Alalshikh would push to add several high-profile bouts to the card, as major showdowns including Devin Haney versus Keyshawn Davis for the WBO welterweight title and four-division champion Shakur Stevenson versus 130lbs champion O’Shaquie Foster are ripe for fall-date placement.
