"Joshua has not boxed since his knockout win over Jake Paul on December 19. He was involved in a car accident in Lagos, Nigeria on December 29, which killed close friends Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele."
"Fury announced his retirement for the fifth time following defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December, 2024. However, he returned with a unanimous decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this month and quickly called out fellow former heavyweight champion Joshua."
"Boxing executive Turki Alalsheikh appeared to confirm the fight had been set. He wrote: 'To my friends in Great Britain - it's happening. It's signed.'"
"Ring Magazine's senior insider Mike Coppinger then added in a post on X that Joshua-Fury is a done deal, with the fight set to take place in the fourth quarter of 2026."
Anthony Joshua is expected to fight Tyson Fury later this year, pending the outcome of Joshua's comeback fight against Kristian Prenga on July 25.

Tyson Fury, who recently won against Arslanbek Makhmudov, has called out Joshua, and boxing executive Turki Alalsheikh confirmed the fight is signed for the fourth quarter of 2026.
