"Hearn stated, 'The biggest piece of business we've ever done but more importantly the one we've always wanted. Biggest year of AJ's career coming up, the comeback is on.'"
"Joshua mentioned, 'It's no secret I've taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring and this is the next step on that journey.'"
"Turki Alalshikh confirmed on social media, 'To my friends in Great Britain it's happening. It's signed,' indicating the agreement for the Joshua vs. Fury fight."
Anthony Joshua is set to face Tyson Fury later this year, with promoter Eddie Hearn confirming the deal. Joshua will first fight Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh as a warm-up. This match marks Joshua's return after a car crash in Nigeria that killed two friends and follows his knockout victory over Jake Paul. Hearn emphasized the significance of this fight for Joshua's career, while Prenga remains untested against opponents of Joshua's caliber.
