Tyson Fury is set to face Anthony Joshua in a massive heavyweight showdown. Here’s all the information available on this potential boxing match.
Immediately after his points victory against Arslanbek Makhmudov last weekend, Tyson Fury called out his compatriot and former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, who defeated Jake Paul in December. Fury stated, «I want to give you the fight you’ve all been waiting for. I want you, AJ, Anthony Joshua. Let’s give the fans what they want – the Battle of Britain. I want to fight you next, do you accept my challenge?»
Joshua has not yet officially accepted, citing the need to first get his life back on track following a severe car accident in Nigeria. Nevertheless, streaming service Netflix has already announced the fight: «It’s happening. Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua. This fall, from the UK. LIVE only on Netflix!»
While major boxing matches on platforms like DAZN often require an additional pay-per-view fee on top of a subscription, this is typically not the case with Netflix, where a standard subscription is sufficient.
A precise date, beyond the general timeframe of «this fall,» has not yet been set, nor has the venue. However, a «Battle of Britain» on UK soil is highly probable.
Reports suggest that Fury received just over 20 million Euros for his fight against Makhmudov. For a bout against Joshua, however, a significantly higher purse is expected for both fighters, given their status as two of the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
