Fury And Joshua Discussing Fight in September

REPORTS indicate that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are engaged in discussions for a showdown in September at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London. 

This exciting development has sparked considerable buzz among boxing enthusiasts.

Negotiations between Fury and Joshua’s promoters, George Warren and Eddie Hearn respectively, began this week. This significant development signals the official start of talks aimed at bringing two of boxing’s top names together.

Fury and Joshua had a heated back-and-forth before their rumoured fight in December last year. In an unexpected turn of events, ‘The Gypsy King’ dropped out of the fight in favour of a trilogy showdown with Derek Chisora, which he won via a 10th-round KO.

Tyson Fury then found himself in discussions with Oleksandr Usyk, as they explored the possibility of an undisputed heavyweight championship fight scheduled for April 29 at Wembley Stadium. However, the negotiations ultimately fell through in March, causing Fury to shift his focus towards a planned comeback in the UK on July 15.

Meanwhile, Joshua secured victory over Jermaine Franklin by earning a unanimous decision in a 12-round bout. The judges’ scores of 118-111 and 117-111 (twice) reflected ‘AJ’s’ dominance throughout the match.
