Tyson Fury Announces Who He Wants to Face Next as He Casts Doubt on Anthony Joshua Fight
Fury says he may face Agit Kabayel or another champion if the Joshua bout remains stalled over venue terms, with a November 20 date nearing.
- Boxing promoter Frank Warren confirmed Tyson Fury signed his contract for the all-British heavyweight bout against Anthony Joshua on Wednesday, though Joshua's signature remains outstanding due to a disagreement over the fight's venue.
- While Fury is willing to fight anywhere, his team targets New York's Madison Square Garden backed by Saudi promoters; Joshua's camp favours Wembley Stadium, stalling the official announcement ahead of the November 20 date.
- Frustrated by delays, "The Gypsy King" threatened to abandon the Joshua fight, naming Agit Kabayel, Hrgovic, and Daniel Dubois as potential November opponents. "Maybe I'll give them a call and they can fight me in November as this is going nowhere," Fury said.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, said a resolution is expected this week as organisers target a November fight date for the two Brits before the deadline approaches.
- This saga has rumbled for months following a September postponement caused by a car accident involving Joshua's friends; if negotiations fail, Kabayel emerges as the likely contingency option for Fury's next bout.
