Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight confirmed
Eddie Hearn said the all-British grudge match is signed, with a fourth-quarter 2026 target and Netflix expected to carry the fight.
- Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have signed a bout agreement for a highly-anticipated match in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Mike Coppinger of Ring Magazine.
- Excellency Turki Alalshikh facilitated the agreement following multiple failed attempts to schedule the bout since late 2025, when Ring Magazine previously announced the fight.
- Following his unanimous decision win over Arslanbek Makhmudov earlier this month, Fury publicly challenged Joshua ringside, saying, 'Let's give the fight fans what they want.'
- Before any clash with Fury, Joshua will return to the ring against 17-1 Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, headlining a DAZN card.
- Boxing fans remain cautious given the 10-year history of failed negotiations, leaving uncertainty regarding whether the late 2026 fight will actually materialize.
