For many years now, there has been one heavyweight fight that the world has wanted to see.
That is the all-British showdown between former Olympic champion Anthony Joshua and the former Lineal champion Tyson Fury.

Their paths have never yet crossed in the ring for a range of reasons. Right now, Joshua is the man in form with a run of four back-to-back wins in the last 18 months, while Fury is coming off his first-ever loss.
Back in May, ‘The Gypsy King’ was dethroned and failed to become undisputed champion when he took on Oleksandr Usyk.
Speaking to Seconds Out, former heavyweight contender David Price was asked whether he thought the two will ever manage to get it on in the future and said it all depends on the outcome of Fury’s rematch with Usyk in December.

“I’d obviously love that to happen.
It’s just going to depend on the circumstances of Tyson Fury at the end of the day. Will he want to continue if he loses to Usyk and go back to the table with Joshua on an even keel or even as the B-side fighter at that point.
But money talks doesn’t. They can have as much money in the bank but it’s still tempting to come back for that little bit more. It might just be a personal thing that he wants to fight Joshua. I know Joshua wants the fight. It’s just a shame it hasn’t happened yet.”
He then picked a winner and narrowly sided with ‘The Gypsy King.’
“If it does happen I was always convinced it would be a whitewash for Fury but Joshua has found his aura again, his form again, that belief, and I’d probably have it 60-40 in Fury’s favour.”
Should this mouthwatering clash ever come to pass, Fury will need to get through Usyk and Joshua will need to see off Daniel Dubois when they fight for the IBF title in September.
If both of them get wins, they could potentially come together for what would be an epic undisputed fight for all of the belts in 2025.
