Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury set for November heavyweight showdown

British heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are slated to meet in a November bout that has drawn widespread anticipation. Both fighters are expected to take low‑risk warm‑up fights before the showdown – Joshua is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga in July, while Fury is still seeking a suitable opponent – to keep the main event on track.

Former cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew predicted the fight will not go the distance, saying he expects a knockout and leaning toward Joshua as the likely victor. Fury, meanwhile, publicly warned Joshua that his chin is a weakness, recalling the knockout loss Joshua suffered to Daniel Dubois earlier in 2024. The two British icons aim to prove they remain among the heavyweight elite when they finally clash later this year.
