Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury heavyweight bout venue and title stakes clarified

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are set to meet later this year in a highly anticipated heavyweight clash. Both fighters have signed contracts, but the venue remains undecided. Promoter Eddie Hearn and Netflix are weighing options that include Madison Square Garden in New York, a UK location, or other U.S. sites. Dana White hinted the fight will go where the money is, suggesting a U.S. venue.

Warm‑up fights saw Fury stop Mariusz Wach by stoppage and Joshua overcome Kristian Prenga after being knocked down twice in the opening round. Former champion Oleksandr Usyk predicts Joshua will knock out Fury in the sixth round with a right hand. Hall of Fame inductee Barry McGuigan later said Joshua looked “completely shot” after his Prenga bout.

WBA champion Murat Gassiev has offered the winner a shot at his newly‑minted world title, adding further incentive to the showdown.
