Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua | NETFLIX - Winter 2026

[PRINCEKOOL]

If one side of the negotiations knows potentially when this fight is going to happen 'it is Tyson Fury's team. Because he has clearly sided with all the people who want this fights in America'.

Note: Ultimately it is all of those people 'who are stalling this fight. Either they honour Anthony Joshua's original contract or they renegotiate new terms and a new location'.

I have stated this many times before 'Tyson Fury is petrified of Anthony Joshua. And I don't even think he wants this version of Joshua, fully prepared to fight him. If Fury can? He will try his best to announce this fight just few weeks out from the fight date'.

That looks like the tactics he is trying to play here 'Fury attempted the same tactics first time around against Oleksandr Uysk. I suppose this is all part of trying to beat Tyson Fury' etc.

Tyson Fury training in Miami for Anthony Joshua - the fight will happen, says Frank~Warren

Frank~Warren is confident that the Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua showdown will go ahead despite the recent disagreement between Sela and Matchroom Boxing regarding Joshua’s contract.

At the root of the issue is Joshua’s initial contract stipulating the heavyweight contest must happen in the UK.

Chief financier Turki Alalshikh and Netflix, the broadcaster for the event should it occur, remain insistent that it must take place in the US, however, in an effort to maximize the broadcast audience.

“I definitely think [the fight] will happen,” Warren, who stages Moses Itauma-Filip Hrgovic on Saturday, told Sky Sports. “I think [Turki Alalshikh] will announce it fairly soon. I know there’s been some issues with contracts with Matchroom and ‘AJ’. I believe they’ll iron those out.

“In the meantime, Tyson has flown off to the States, he’s in Miami and he’s preparing for the fight.”

The location of the bout, between two British heavyweights who made their names in Britain, continues to stir emotion. For Warren, though, he doesn’t believe the fight’s staging on American soil is anything out of the ordinary.

“I think they both want the fight at Wembley, but it’s out of their hands now. Well, that’s not quite right, they could refuse to fight. But then we don’t get the fight that everyone wants to see.

“I think because the amount of money that they’re getting paid, I believe it will go on.

“I hope I’m wrong, but I think it will go on in America, for obvious reasons… But that’s nothing unusual; you had massive, massive American heroes, in Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, Vegas wanted it, Madison Square Garden wanted it, and it went off to Zaire in 1974. People thought, ‘what’s that all about?’ But it’s become not only an iconic fight, it’s an iconic moment in sport. Then there was Ali with Frazier, third fight, ‘Thrilla in Manila’… So, it’s nothing unusual.

“They are professional boxers; I’m not going to make any excuses about it. Would I like to see it, would all the fans like to see it at Wembley? Of course they would. But they’re in the hands of another broadcaster who wants the fight in America.”

November 20 has been the widely circulated date.

“I think it will be early November,” Warren said.

“There’s a couple of dates being bandied around but, it’s like all these things, until everyone says, ‘great, it’s done’, it’s not done.

“I just hope they manage to resolve that before the weekend.”

Anthony Joshua should never have left Robert McCracken, says Carl Froch

Carl Froch does not believe the current training team of Anthony Joshua is doing him any favors and the heavyweight should have stayed with coach Robert McCracken.

Froch, trained by McCracken throughout his career, retired in 2014 as a super middleweight beltholder after flattening George Groves in their high-profile rematch.

Joshua, 30-4 (27 KOs), parted ways with McCracken in 2022. He has since been trained by Robert Garcia, Derrick James, Ben Davison, and is now under the guidance of Team Usyk’s Sergey Lapin.

The former heavyweight champion, who has not worn a belt since leaving McCracken, was dropped and hurt by the unheralded Kristian Prenga in July. Following that calamitous opening round, the advice – or lack of – Joshua received drew criticism from some observers.

Regardless, Joshua then blitzed Prenga in the second.

“Team Usyk is probably the right team to get him fit and maybe get him in a good mental place,” Froch told NewBettingSites.uk.

“Are they the right team for the corner work after what I watched [between rounds versus Prenga]? No, because there is a language problem. There is a communication barrier. Some of the stuff they were saying, I didn’t even understand what they meant by it. It was a bad attempt at a motivational speech.

“Should he have Rob in the corner? I think he should have always stayed with Rob McCracken in the corner. Rob McCracken is a man of principles. He is not a man motivated by money. He is motivated by boxing, loyalty, honesty and integrity, and he has got your back.”

Froch, who’s reinvented himself as an outspoken ex-fighter in retirement, doesn’t believe that McCracken would entertain the idea of a reunion.

“Would Rob have him back? I can’t speak for Rob McCracken, but I can give my opinion on it. Not a cat in hell’s chance would Rob McCracken ever work with Anthony Joshua, in my opinion. Ever. That ship has sailed. AJ does not deserve somebody like Rob McCracken after the way he treated him.”

Fury Flies To U.S. To Train; Warren Optimistic He’ll Fight Joshua

Tyson Fury has returned to the United States as the negotiations saga continues for his forthcoming fight against Anthony Joshua.

Fury’s promoter, Frank~Warren, provided a positive update on Tuesday as to where dealings stand for the all-British battle between former heavyweight champions.

“I genuinely think it will happen. His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh, will announce that fairly soon,” Warren told Sky Sports. “I know there’s been some issues with contracts with Matchroom and AJ. I believe they will iron all those out. In the meantime, Tyson [Fury] has flown off to the States. He’s in Miami and he’s preparing for the fight."

Fury made Thailand his home base for his last two camps, but he’s now returning to training in America for the first time in five years after his trilogy fight against Deontay Wilder. Fury fought five times consecutively in the United States from 2018 to 2021; Joshua has competed just twice stateside.

In June, Fury put rumors to rest that he was banned from traveling to the United States after attending the UFC event at the White House.

In recent weeks, the chief hurdle for Fury-Joshua officially crossing the finish line has been whether it will take place in the U.S. or UK. A November 20 date on Netflix at New York’s Madison Square Garden has been targeted for the tilt.

“I think they both want the fight at Wembley, but it’s out of their hands now,” Warren said. “That’s not quite right, actually. They could refuse to fight. We don’t get the fight we want to see.

“I think because of the amount of money involved, I hope I’m wrong, but I think it will go on in America. Would I like to see it at Wembley? Would all the fans like to see it at Wembley? Of course they would. But they are in the hands of another broadcaster who wants the fight in America.”

Fury (36-2-1, 25 KOs) and Joshua (30-4, 26 KOs) both scored tune-up wins within a day of each other last month, albeit in completely different fashions.

Fury comfortably stopped Mariusz Wach in seven rounds July 25 in Thailand, away from the TV cameras. Joshua got dropped twice by Kristian Prenga in the opening round and bounced back to score a stoppage in the second.

Every new article I get about this that isn't "The fight is signed, and here's the date" just pisses me off. I could give a f*ck what either of these 2 are doing if they're not signing to fight.

[Eolaithe]

If one side of the negotiations knows potentially when this fight is going to happen 'it is Tyson Fury's team. Because he has clearly sided with all the people who want this fights in America'.

Turki Alalshikh and Netflix want to stage the fight on US soil. They're the paymasters dictating the location.

There isn't a UK broadcaster, promoter and venue capable of collectively funding the staging of the event on British shores.

Eddie Hearn and Anthony Joshua are willing to agree to face Tyson Fury in New York if the purse is increased to compensate for US taxation.

A compromise will be made. Fury and AJ will receive bigger paydays' and the fight will take place.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Every new article I get about this that isn't "The fight is signed, and here's the date" just pisses me off. I could give a f*ck what either of these 2 are doing if they're not signing to fight.

Anthony Joshua signed to have this fight a long time ago 'you need to acknowledge, that the recent difficulties in the negotiations has been mainly caused by Tyson Fury. Plain and simple'.

Note: Like I just stated in my last post? If one side of this negotiations knows when the fight is going to be announced 'that is Tyson Fury and his team'.

Tyson Fury tried very similar tactics in 2023 'during the first negotiations vs. Oleksandr Uysk'.

Tyson Fury has by the looks of it started his serious training camp 'so he obviously knows something'.

I personally just believe that all of those tactics are underhand and deceptive 'Tyson Fury has to have some sort of edge over Joshua, because he is petrified of him' etc.

Frank~Warren on Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury: Make your mind up or move on!

As the long running saga over the proposed date and venue of the bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua appears to rumble on, promoter Frank~Warren has said: “Everyone’s got to make their mind up. Otherwise, move on.”

The International Boxing Hall of Fame promoter still believes the Netflix bout will wind up in New York, and told a group of journalists Wednesday: “If it happens, I think it’ll happen in November, early November. I think it’s all probability of being in the States.

“And Tyson, to that effect, went over the weekend to Miami, which is where he’s training. And he’s training to fight. So one way or another, he’s going to fight in November. Hopefully it’s against AJ.”
Asked whether there would be a time limit on a decision, Warren replied: “I shouldn’t think they go past the end of next week.”

And Warren has seen big fights happen in surprising locations before, and he also knows the business-side of the sport well enough to know that, historically, the fight goes where the most money is.

“They’re putting up the money,” Warren said of Netflix.

“Look, you think of all the iconic fights of years and years ago. Great fights, the Thrilla in Manila. Two Americans went to Manila, had a great first fight, Ali and Frazier [went to the Philippines for their trilogy bout]. Everybody wanted that fight. Vegas wanted that fight. New York wanted it. Why did it wind up in Manila? Because somebody put the money up for it to go there.

“Rumble in the Jungle. Who didn’t want to see Ali against Foreman? What a hot fight that was. Where did it wind up? In Zaire. Vegas wanted it again. So did Madison Square Garden. All the networks wanted it. But it went there. Why? Because that’s where they got their money. Dear old Joe Bugner, our man at the time, he wound up fighting in Kuala Lumpur against Ali. Why? Because they put the money up.

“This is nothing unusual. I mean, do I want… should it be in Wembley? Of course it should be in Wembley. But at the end of the day, they’re getting punched in the head. They’re old guys. They’re not young heavyweights. I mean, they’re old guys as far as boxing’s concerned. They’re getting a truckload of money. Get it on or don’t get it on.

“Wherever it takes place, you can watch it. You know, the people who watched those fights I was talking about, they went to cinemas in London. That’s all that showed those fights. They weren’t anywhere else. About 1,500-to-2,000 people watched it live. The rest had to wait for a showing later on, or a couple of days later, whenever it was.

“In those days, TV went off the air. That’s how long they waited. At least in this day and age, you can watch it live.”

But there are, of course, issues, between the powerbrokers hoping to stage the fight and Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn and Joshua, who signed their contract to fight Fury in London, and still want the fight to take place there.
“Eddie’s come out and said what he said and what they want and so on,” Warren added.

“Some of that stuff, flights and tickets, they’re not even an issue. I don’t know what the monetary situation is, but whatever it is, everyone’s got to make their mind up. Otherwise, move on… The fights are either going to happen or not. I think it will happen. If it doesn't, and I think there’s a time limit on it, by the way, if it doesn’t happen, then there will be one of those fights that slip by.”
Warren was then asked whether he felt Joshua did still want the fight.

Hearn, to his point, says Joshua is desperate for it, in England.

“I mean, look, he had a hard fight last time, didn’t he?” Warren said of Joshua’s two-round bout with Kristian Prenga.

“He came through at the end, but he did have a hard fight. Does he want it? He’s the only one who knows that. He says he does…

“And they did sign. They’re quite right. They signed for a contract for the fight to take place in the UK. Tyson didn’t sign up for America, but Tyson is willing to, and has said he just wants the fight. Just get it on. Get, in his words, get all this politics and all his crap out of the way. Let’s get the fight on.”

No change, no deal: The wait continues for Joshua-Fury

Consider it boxing’s most important face-off of the year.

With no response from his signed addendum nearly a week after he sent it off to Saudi Arabia boxing financier Turki Alalshikh, Anthony Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn is sticking to his guns for the super-fight against fellow two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

“As of now, we expect the fight to take place in the U.K., as per the contract,” Hearn told Boxing Scene Wednesday.

Late last week, responding to allegations Hearn was stalling the proposed move of Joshua-Fury to November 20 at Madison Square Garden over payments owed for snooker and darts competitions, the promoter clarified he instead was requesting that Joshua be paid his full purse from his July knockout of Kristian Prenga and that ticketing, security and other standard contractual agreements be shored up.

“No change,” Hearn said in regard to what movement has occurred since the addendum was sent.

Since Alalshikh has entered boxing, at least one other boxer’s representative complained to Boxing Scene of not being paid on fight night, later acknowledging the contract stipulated the funds could arrive at a later date within 45 days of the bout.

In Joshua’s case, Boxing Scene has learned the purse money was due on fight night.

So, as Fury and his promoter allegedly have pleaded for the sides to finalize the deal, the wait continues.

[PRINCEKOOL]

To be a hardcore fan of Tyson Fury 'you must have to consistently lie to yourself. Tyson Fury has 100% caused this entire situation, and tactically sabotaged this fight'.

Note: I respect Tyson Fury as far as his ability to fight inside the ring 'but his conduct outside the ring, especially as a competitor has always been underhand and deceptive. Never straight forward'.

Tyson Fury's team, KNOW when and if this fight is going to happen 'they are the side of this negotiation, which ultimately is going to decide. Because Fury has sided with all the factors that want this fight in the America'.

In my honest opinion? I think Eddie Hearn and Matchroom 'should be looking at other fights for Joshua. What is Tyson Fury going to do? Fight Oleksandr Uysk for the third time and get beat? Fight Dubois or Wardley? Not very likely. Fury has already expressed that he is also terrified of Daniel Dubois'.

Even though stylistically I think that is a fight 'Tyson Fury can win'.

If fight between Fury and Joshua is not announced this month 'I don't think it would be wise move to throw the two fighters into such a big fight, with less than two months of preparation' etc.

[gilgamesh]

They've had months to prepare at this point? Less than 2 months preparation my ass. Ain't nothing stopping 'em from training right now.

[PRINCEKOOL]

They've had months to prepare at this point? Less than 2 months preparation my ass. Ain't nothing stopping 'em from training right now.

So what are they preparing for? This is elite level sports 'professional athletes, need a location and date. So they can strategically develop a training program. This is called periodisation'.

Note: Do you have knowledge of any other sports gilgamesh, I am talking about proper individual sports. That are heavily dependent in training and preparation. So don't reply to me, and tell me that you watch soccer Sunday'. Every training session has a purpose, those level of athletes are always working towards a certain aim or goal.

Currently right now? Neither Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury 'know exactly what they are training for. Well maybe? Tyson Fury does, maybe Fury has already decided who he will fight if? His attempted tactically sabotage of this fight plays out'.

For such a big mega fight 'this is a complete and utter shambles. It is unprofessional and not very wise build up for either fighter' etc.

[gilgamesh]

I'd rather see an immediate announcement of this than another month of Will they/Won't they with Fury vs Joshua.

Guys talking about maybe fighting isn't half as interesting as people fighting.

[joshj909]

Didn't learn his lesson from Wallin did he

[gilgamesh]

He beat Wallin

[Perkin Warbeck]

I'd rather see an immediate announcement of this than another month of Will they/Won't they with Fury vs Joshua.

Guys talking about maybe fighting isn't half as interesting as people fighting.

I agree.

He beat Wallin

I also scored that fight for Gassiev. Wallin seemed afraid to engage the smaller man, backing away a lot, while Gassiev at least tried to make a fight of it.

[Thomastearns]

The main stumbling block for Fury will be money.

If it's held in the UK, then he'll have to cough up 45% to those lovely money men/bankers he's so fond of.

The UK's unbelievable national debt interest and it's commitment to whatever foreign war its financial masters demand won't pay for itself.

Fury didn't move to the Isle of Man just for the sea air.

Make Agit vs Fury first. Let Agit kick his @ss and end this farce.

The guy on the Right doesn't look 100% like Tyson Fury either.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Surely they will have to move the fight date if this standoff continues 'as I have stated before? I think this is getting into the area where it is now very unprofessional to go ahead with this fight. If the proposed fight date is November 20th'.

Note: Regardless of whom I am backing to win 'which is of course Anthony Joshua via knock out'.

I am sure all the British boxing fans 'want to see the very best, and optimally prepared versions of both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua for this mega fight'.

I would not be surprised if people from the training camps of the fighters 'actual coaches, raise their concerns if this fight negotiations continues to disrupted their preparations' etc.

Eddie Hearn admits time running out over Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight negotiations

Promoter Eddie Hearn has said they are "running out of time" with negotiations for Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to fight in November and conceded he has "no idea" if it will get over the line in time.

While both Joshua and Fury have signed contracts for the fight, talks have been at a near standstill in recent weeks due to a dispute about the location.

Joshua's contract states that the event must take place in the United Kingdom, but Hearn has said Saudi Arabian organisers and broadcaster Netflix want to stage the fight in the United States.

Last month, Hearn sent an addendum to the relevant parties, outlining the things they wanted in return for taking the fight across the Atlantic.

Part of the addendum included a change to Joshua's purse as a result of the increased tax for fighting in America.

Hearn had also insisted that Joshua receive his full payment for the fight against Kristian Prenga in July. He confirmed on Tuesday that "we're all good from the last fight and we're moving forward amicably."

While he told reporters on Tuesday that there had been progress in discissions, nothing has been finalised.

"There is nothing agreed right now. Will need to make a decision this week. They have replied. They have our terms," Hearn said.

"We're speaking multiple times a day but we're running out of time if you want to do the fight on Nov. 20.

"They're talking about a press conference next week. It's Tuesday. The ball is in their court."

Asked if all parties involved can get the fight over the line by the end of the week, Hearn said: "I have no idea. I think so.

"But our dream and hope is they turn around and go this is too messy. We'll just do it in Wembley. But they're adamant they want the fight in America."

Eddie Hearn gets reply to addendum, Anthony Joshua gets paid, Tyson Fury talks continue

Eddie Hearn has confirmed that Anthony Joshua has been paid for his July 25 contest versus Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.

This follows a report by Boxing Scene’s Lance Pugmire last month that Matchroom Boxing had sent an addendum with regard to staging the long-anticipated contest between Joshua and Tyson Fury at New York’s Madison Square Garden on November 20. Joshua’s original contract stated the bout must take place in the UK, but the event organizers, Sela, and the broadcaster, Netflix, wish for the contest to take place in America.

Hearn and Joshua’s most notable demand was for the heavyweight to collect his full purse from his second-round finish of Prenga.

Asked Tuesday by Boxing Scene if Joshua has now been paid for the contest, Hearn said: “Yeah, we're all good from the last fight, and we're all moving forward amicably. We don't want to do the fight in the US, but we also understand it has to work for everybody. And at the same time, we're basically being told, if you don't do the fight, we only want to do the fight in the US, which we don't agree with. We don't understand.

“We've been banging our head against the wall on that for the last two months. So, like I said, we've set out our position, mainly in concern to the tax situation that will deplete his net purse by going to America, which can be rectified. I think they're happy to do that. Everything else, there's no abnormal requests. It's up to them. There's nothing else to discuss.”

Boxing Scene last week reported that Hearn was yet to hear back after submitting his addendum, but confirmed today he received a response “two days ago”.

“We will need to make a decision this week. They've replied. They have our terms. It's up to them,” Hearn said. “I mean, we don't want to do the fight in the US, but if they really want it in the US, these are our terms.

"There's nothing unreasonable in there, to be honest with you. There's not one of those terms that was mentioned in the leaked email that is in the addendum. They're all stuff related to the fight. If they want it there, they'll sign it. If not, we'll be very happy, and we'll do it in the UK. We're speaking multiple times a day, but we're running out of time. I mean, if you want to do the fight on November 20, and they're talking of a press conference next week, it's Tuesday. Do you know what I mean? But the ball's in their court.”

Hearn was then asked if he is confident of getting the fight over the line.

“I have no idea. I mean, I think so,” he replied. “But our dream and our hope is they just turn around and go, ‘This is too messy, we'll just do it in Wembley.’ But they're adamant that they want the fight in America.”
