Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

The fight 10 years in the making is officially signed. Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua will take place in November 2026, with Riyadh, Saudi Arabia the expected venue. Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh confirmed on 27 April 2026: "To my friends in Great Britain — it is happening. It is signed." The Mirror reports November as the confirmed window.

Joshua (29-4, 24 KOs) must first come through a warm-up against Kristian Prenga on 25 July 2026 in Riyadh, live on DAZN. Fury (35-1-1, 24 KOs) beat Arslanbek Makhmudov in April 2026 and his team have indicated they also want a warm-up fight before the mega-bout. Both fighters need to navigate their respective tune-ups before the biggest British heavyweight fight in history.

Fury holds the size and reach advantage at 6ft 9in to Joshua's 6ft 6in. The Gypsy King's unorthodox movement and ringcraft present a different challenge to anything Joshua has faced. Joshua's two defeats to Usyk raised questions about his ability against technically elite opponents — Fury is the ultimate test. When betting markets open, Fury is expected to start favourite.
