According to Eddie Hearn, Fury and Joshua have been connected for nearly ten years, and now there’s a chance for them to square off in the ring later this year.

After nearly ten years of discussion, Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua may finally happen this year.

Oleksandr Usyk, the fierce opponent of heavyweight champion Fury, has signed a two-fight contract with him. Their undisputed world belts will be decided on May 18 in Saudi Arabia. Notwithstanding the outcome of the bout, they are anticipated to rematch later in the year because of a two-way rematch clause.

Following his convincing knockout victory over Francis Ngannou last month, Joshua, the former two-time world champion, has been guaranteed a chance to face either Fury or Usyk next. The head of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, believes that if Fury defeats Usyk in the upcoming month, a matchup with Joshua will take place rather than a rematch with the Ukrainian.

Darts prodigy Luke Littler winning a global championship or Fury facing Joshua? Piers Morgan asked Hearn which is more likely. Hearn said, “Well, because the darts Championship comes in December and January, I’m gonna say that Fury vs AJ happens this year.” Thus, I will state that “AJ vs. Fury [occurs first].”

Fury’s promoter Frank Warren isn’t on the same page as Hearn as he thinks the domestic clash won’t take place until next year. “Next March, if Tyson does what I believe he’ll do and AJ continues to win, I’m sure that’ll set up a big fight,” he told Sky Sports. “It’s like going back to the late 60s, 70s, that’s what’s happening now. These guys are all fighting each other.”

Both of Joshua’s recent fights have taken place in Saudi Arabia whilst Fury returns to the Kingdom next month after his controversial fight against Ngannou last October. Warren admitted he wants Fury vs Joshua to take place in the UK but thinks Saudi Arabia will host the fight because that’s where the money is.

“I’ve got to be honest, I think that is where it will go,” Warren added. “Of course, I’d like them in the UK. I look back when I was younger – all those many, many, many years ago – I look at all those really great fighters like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, where did they put their big fight on?”

Frank Warren has insisted Tyson Fury would be wise to target what he perceives to be Oleksandr Usyk‘s greatest weakness when the pair meet inside the ring.

For the first time since Lennox Lewis more than two decades ago, an undisputed king of the heavyweight division could be crowned in Riyadh next month.

Usyk and Fury had originally been scheduled to face off in February before the Gypsy King sustained a serious cut in sparring leading to the bout being moved to May 18.

As part of the deal to reschedule the fight, Turki Alalshikh revealed that both fighters had agreed to forfeit $10m (£8m) if they were forced to pull out.

Speaking ahead of the highly-anticipated showdown, Warren insisted he has identified a weakness in the former undisputed cruiserweight champion’s game which he believes Fury will use it to his advantage on fight night.

‘One thing about Tyson, if he senses a crack or sees any weakness, he’s the biggest exploiter of it and that’s why it’s going to be such an exciting fight.’ Warren told Sky Sports.

‘On the other hand, Usyk might feel from the [Francis] Ngannou fight there are some things that he can exploit and I’m sure he will. He’s a competitor.

‘He’s a competitor from amateur days right up until the present day. He’s done everything that’s been asked of him.

‘His Achilles’ heel, as I’ve said, and I’m surprised the so-called experts never picked up on it, has always been his body.

‘Daniel Dubois, that’s what he was trained for, to go and exploit that and he nearly pulled it off.’

Back in August, Usyk put his heavyweight titles on the line against British prospect Dubois in front of a partisan crowd in Wroclaw, Poland.

For much of the contest, the Ukrainian utilised his superb technical acumen to build up a sizeable lead on the judges’ scorecards before scoring a KO finish in the ninth round.

However, the win was marred in controversy after Dubois sent the 37-year-old crashing to the canvas in the fifth with a shot that was contentiously ruled by the referee to have been a low blow.

Warren claimed Usyk has struggled with body shots in the past, a tendency he believes Fury will exploit

Warren added that Usyk will also likely target Fury’s weakness by looking to reopen the cut above his right eye that caused the fight to be delayed in the first place.

‘Well, I would. Of course he will [try to exploit the cut].’ Warren continued.

‘He had a worse cut against [Otto] Wallin. Tyson had a dreadful cut in that fight and won the fight convincingly with a bad cut, a real bad cut.

‘He’s got plan A, plan B and a plan C and more importantly, he’s got a big heart.’

Anthony Joshua brushed off concern over Francis Ngannou‘s size ahead of their ‘Knockout Chaos’ clash in Saudi Arabia on Friday.

The British heavyweight will face the crossover star in both fighters’ second Saudi Arabia-based clash of this Riyadh Season, with AJ previously despatching Otto Wallin as the showpiece fight on the ‘The Day of Reckoning’ card.

Opponent Ngannou fought his first-ever heavyweight clash on Saudi soil in the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ against Tyson Fury, narrowly falling to the Gypsy King via split decision but acquitting himself well in the process.

The showdown in the Gulf state pits the Briton against a formidable rival in the figure of the Cameroonian fighter, despite Ngannou preparing to feature in just his second heavyweight clash.

But when asked how he was preparing to face up to an opponent with a similarly titanic physique, AJ refused to be drawn into comparisons.

But Joshua seemed unruffled at the prospect of fighting the crossover star who almost stopped Tyson Fury in his tracks

‘I think we’ve got a fight,’ Joshua exclusively told Mail Sport. ‘It’s not a physique competition, it’s a fight, it’s a boxing match, let’s go.’

He also kept his cards close to his chest with regards to the event’s moniker, and was unwilling to predict who exactly would provide the ‘Knockout Chaos’.

‘I don’t know, let’s see what happens,’ the 34-year-old added. ‘Talk is cheap, but I’m ready 100 per cent, I’m definitely, definitely, definitely ready.’

Just 73 days have passed since Joshua was last in the ring facing off with Wallin, but the fighter was raring to go on Monday evening for the fight’s grand pre-fight arrival, where he stressed the importance of keeping in shape and fight-ready between bouts.

‘It’s important to stay locked in,’ Joshua continued. ‘My mind has so many thoughts a day, and I need to try and channel them to be focused on boxing.

‘The more I stay in the gym, the better I get, the more I stay in the gym, the more fights I win. It’s a tough game, so the less time you spend in the gym the harder your job is.

‘I want to make my job as easy as possible. I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym maybe Monday after this fight.’

Joshua refused to be drawn on whether he will link up with Fury or former opponent Oleksandr Usyk for his next tie

Although boxing fans will have to wait four more days to watch the banner spectacle, speculation is already mounting as to who the highly motivated Briton could face next.

Supporters have long clamoured for his match-up with Fury, who is in the process of preparing to fight Oleksandr Usyk after their February bout was delayed due to his training injury.

But Joshua had no interest on being tempted into revealing his next opponent, be that Fury or the Ukranian former cruiserweight, who he has been defeated by two times previously.

‘Just get this fight out the way,’ Joshua stressed. ‘That’s my main focus.’

Both Joshua and Fury have received financial support to make over £100 million from their resentment match, which may happen before the year is out.

The road for Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s upcoming fight has now been established, and they may square off in the ring at the end of the year.

The bout between domestic rivals Joshua and Fury is getting closer after ‘AJ’ secured an undisputed world title shot by defeating former UFC champion Francis Ngannou last month. The two had been linked to fight for nearly ten years. On May 18, Fury will challenge Oleksandr Usyk, a fellow heavyweight champion, for the undisputed titles in Saudi Arabia.

Fury and Usyk’s fight has a two-way rematch clause meaning they will likely fight again in August or September, which is around the same time that Joshua will return to the ring. Around September is when I’ve been told. I was hoping June,” Joshua said when asked about his next fight on The Jonathan Ross Show.

“I’ve got some time to go on dates now and mingle a little bit. I’m training at the minute, I’ve got two months before I get into training camp.” Joshua will fight the winner of Daniel Dubois vs Filip Hrgovic in September, according to his good friend Derek Chisora.

A fight between Dubois and Hrgovic will likely take place on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol’s undisputed light-heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia on June 1. The heavyweight clash could be for the IBF world title if the organisation forces Fury or Usyk to fight mandatory challenger Hrgovic.

If ‘AJ’ can come out of his September fight relatively unscathed, it means he could be set for a three-month turnaround to fight Fury in Saudi Arabia at the end of the year. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn thinks the domestic clash could be made even sooner if Fury beats Usyk next month.

When asked what is more likely to happen first, darts ace Luke Littler winning a world championship or Joshua facing Fury, Hearn told Piers Morgan: “Well because the darts Championship comes in December and January, I’m gonna say that Fury vs AJ happens this year. So I’m gonna say Fury vs AJ [happens first].”

Tyson Fury has put Anthony Joshua on hold as he maps out no fewer than ten more fights which will transform him from a multi millionaire into boxing’s first billionaire.

The much anticipated Battle of the British giants will have to wait until next year as the Gypsy King and Ukrainian war hero Oleksandr Usyk clash twice in 2024 to decide which of them will reign as the first undisputed world heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis.

Fury says: ”Unless the contract between Usyk and me isn’t worth the paper it’s written on – and it’s a double bubble worth a helluva lot to both of us – we will be having a rematch after our first fight next month.’

As for Team Joshua’s insistence that AJ and Tyson will be locking horns soon, Fury says: ‘I’ve lost a few million down the years because of contract disputes and no court in the world can refute the legality of the rematch clause in this one.

‘And why would either the winner or the loser of our first fight want to pull out of a second fight when there’s so much money at stake?’

Neither, is the answer. Not with both men expected to pocket in the region of one hundred million dollars from each fight. Both in Riyadh, the new fight capital of the world. The first on May 18, the second in late October.

On keeping Joshua in abeyance, Fury says: ‘He had his two goes at Usyk and lost both. And he went into meltdown after the second defeat. Now it’s my time.’

Tyson was speaking in his home town of Morecambe as he launched the four week countdown to Usyk 1.

As he addressed the press conference His Excellency Türkie Al Al Sikh, who directs the huge financing of fights in Saudi Arabia, came on a loudspeaker phone to declare: ‘Tyson, you are the diamond in world boxing. You know I want you to be our crown jewel for ten more fights.’

Fury, 35, said: ‘I do know that. ‘ And went on to outline that sequence thus:

‘Usyk twice this year. Joshua twice next year. ‘Then quicker fights against Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce, a fourth fight with Deontay Wilder maybe in the US.

‘Then Joseph Parker perhaps followed by European champion Agit Kabayal. Then a trilogy fight with Usyk.’

On the timing he said: ‘ I could fight until I’m 40 and I’m happiest when I’m boxing. But I’d like to knock that lot off in three of four fights a year. Then see what’s next. ‘

Fury is anything but deflated by his recent struggle to get up from a knock down to marginally defeat UFC. Legend Francis Ngannou.

Rivals have agreed a rematch clause in October and there is potential for a trilogy fight

Fury’s much-anticipated showdown will Anthony Joshua will have to wait until next year

When his promoter Frank Warren and trainer Sugar Hill predicted he would KO the also undefeated Usyk in May to add the WBA, IBF and WBO belts to his WBC title to become the first undisputed champ of the four belt era, Fury joked: ‘I’m tipping Usyk to stop me in the first round!’

Then added: ‘He’s a great champion who deserves all our respect. So don’t say he’s s*** when I bash him up twice. Which I could do every day of the week.’

The sun peeked through the clouds lowering over Morecambe Bay as Fury -looking in host condition for years – began this countdown, to what he calls: ‘My destiny’

All is well again in the Gypsy Kingdom.’

Famous promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that the Anthony Joshua – Tyson Fury fight will bring the highest salary in history for each fighter.

Tyson Fury is preparing for the world classic title unification match with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18. However, famous promoter and manager Eddie Hearn has just revealed that the Tyson Fury – Anthony Joshua match is being scheduled to bring in the highest competition fee in the history of world heavyweight boxing.

Promoter Eddie Hearn (middle) recently revealed the remuneration for the Joshua – Fury match,a “classic English civil war” fight.

In mid-2020, representatives of both Fury and Joshua came very close to an agreement to bet on a “classic British boxing civil war” for these two outstanding boxers. At that time, the media reported that Fury – Joshua would fight 2 matches and the expected fight in 2021 was valued at a compensation of up to 150 million pounds.

For many reasons this match could not take place at that time. However, the Joshua – Fury fight seems to be seriously restarting negotiations. Both famous promoters: Eddie Hearn (head of Matchroom Boxing, Joshua’s management unit) – Frank Warren (head of Queensberry, Tyson Fury’s management unit) have mentioned the time frame for organizing the scheduled boxing match. this history.

Even in the latest development, boss Eddie Hearn also revealed the competition fee that Joshua – Fury will receive when competing.

“Remuneration? You’re talking about 100 million pounds per fighter and that could very well be the minimum. Yes, it would definitely be the biggest paid fight in the history of heavyweight boxing.” “, Eddie Hearn revealed in the Uncensored interview program with famous journalist Piers Morgan.

“We (Matchroom Boxing) promote negotiations and prepare everything for Anthony Joshua. Of course, we will receive a percentage of Joshua’s compensation. The number will be about 10%.”

The Joshua – Fury match will go down in world heavyweight boxing history in terms of competition remuneration

If it is true as Eddie Hearn revealed, the Joshua – Fury match will bring in 100 million pounds (equivalent to about 126.5 million dollars)  for each boxer, not including other payments, such as bonuses and especially money from pay-per-view revenue.

Obviously, the above compensation – a total of $200 million – was more than enough to turn the Joshua – Fury match into the most expensive heavyweight boxing match in history. Remember, even the upcoming classic title unification match between Fury – Usyk only has a total compensation for the two boxers of about 116 million pounds, equivalent to 150 million dollars.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have not brought Prince Archie or his sister Princess Lilibet to the UK for nearly two years.

Prince Harry on telling Archie about Princess Diana

Prince Archie is said to be “desperate” to join his father Prince Harry on a trip to the UK because he wants to see his grandad King Charles, however neither of his parents are keen to encourage this, according to a source.

Meghan Markle and Harry moved away from the Royal Family in 2020 after stepping down as working members of the Firm, eventually moving to Montecito and welcoming their daughter Princess Lilibet in 2021.

But their are fears that as their children grow older they will become more curious about their extended British family as the Sussexes have limited contact with the royals. One royal expert has claimed that even if the Duke of Sussex does return to the UK to visit his father with his children – that it is unlikely that the Duchess will join them.

Archie and Lilibet have not been to the UK since June 2022 when they travelled back for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, although King Charles continues to send gifts to his grandchildren for their birthdays and Christmas.

Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: “”Archie loves the idea that his grandad lives in a castle and Meghan was worried that a magnificent shepherd’s hut or similar extravagant present will only increase Archie’s growing interest in his royal connections.

“She doesn’t want Britain to become a longed-for fantasy for her son so she had been pushing Harry to insist that his father gets Archie a simple present.”

Mr Quinn also claims that the King is equally keen to indulge his grandchildren, partly because “wants to make up for what he sees as his neglect of his own sons in their youth”.

He added of five-year-old Archie: “He is apparently desperate to come to the UK with his father, but Meghan and Harry don’t want to encourage this.”

Royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths explained that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are unlikely to want to bring their children over, even if the King does invite them to Balmoral for the summer.

She told TalkTV: “Even if Harry comes, I can’t imagine a world in which Meghan comes over with the kids, it’s really sad.

“[Meghan] was never really very enamoured with the rural royal life and the sort of cold two bar radiators and the boot rooms.

“I mean can you imagine Meghan stalking in the Highlands all summer? I can’t really to be honest.”

An insider admitted to Page Six: “I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children, and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short.

“Balmoral is truly the perfect, restful place for a reunion. If he does issue an invite, then Harry and Meghan should surely agree to the visit.”

 

Mike Tyson suffered a medical emergency during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday, his representatives have confirmed.

The former heavyweight champion, 57, became nauseous and dizzy, forcing flight staff to ask passengers if there was a doctor on board to provide assistance.

Paramedics boarded the plane, which had already been delayed by two hours in Miami because of the heat, once it touched down in Los Angeles to give treatment.

It comes just two months before the boxing legend is due to fight YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Arlington.

‘Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,’ his representatives told The New York Post.

‘He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up 30 minutes before landing.

‘He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.’

Typical symptoms of an ulcer flare up include nausea and vomiting, bloating, belching and gas pain, as well as chest pain and fatigue.

It comes after In Touch first revealed on Monday morning that Tyson ‘had some kind of medical emergency on the plane and paramedics boarded’.

Sources claim the cabin crew ‘issued an announcement asking for a doctor 30 minutes before landing and the message even came on everyone’s screens.’

‘He was in first class, but we were an exit row,’ an eyewitness added.

‘They asked us to stay on the plane and landed so paramedics could enter. [The stewardess] said something like, “He’s a really important passenger so we wanna make sure he’s OK.” I knew it was him, but I just mouthed the words “Mike Tyson” and she nodded her head yes.’

Once the plane landed at LAX, there was another delay of around 25 minutes while the paramedics treated Tyson.

Tyson, who has previously admitted he uses marijuana daily, has given the drug up while training to fight Paul because it is on the list of banned substances used by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

He also revealed he’s given up sex temporarily as part of his training regime.

Mike Tyson says Jake Paul has to ‘fight like his life depends on it

‘He only stopped as a means of following all of the rules,’ his publicist Joann Mignano recently told USA TODAY Sports.

‘But he is still a strong advocate for the medicinal benefits of cannabis for his personal well-being and others like him.’’

Tyson will be 58 on July 20, when the fight against Paul is set for AT&T Stadium – the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

The fight has been marred by criticism in recent weeks, particularly at the vast age gap between the two fighters.

‘I don’t see too many people critical about it. Look at this,’ Tyson said at a press conference earlier this month..

When a reporter suggested there were critics, Tyson said, ‘Who? Name me somebody. You? Who?’

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation is sanctioning the fight as a professional bout, but it will be eight two-minute rounds instead of 10 or 12 rounds lasting three minutes each.

The gloves will be heavier (14 ounces instead of 10), which is supposed to reduce the power of punches.

Tyson retired in 2005, but most recently fought in an exhibition in November 2020 against Roy Jones in California, which wouldn’t declare it a pro fight.

Tyson was mostly annoyed by the scene and the questions, including when asked what it meant to have a chance to fill AT&T Stadium.

‘I was doing this years ago, so this is nothing new to me,’ said Tyson, who won 50 fights with 44 knockouts before retiring. ‘This is new to this young boy over here.’

Jake Paul has spoken out on social media following reports of Mike Tyson’s medical emergency during a flight to Los Angeles on Sunday.

Less than two months before his Netflix bout against Paul, Tyson, 57, became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare up while making his way from Miami to LA, his representatives confirmed on Monday.

The boxing legend’s state forced flight staff to ask passengers if there was a doctor on board to provide assistance, before paramedics boarded the plane once it touched down in LA to provide treatment.

While he is already said to be ‘doing great’ after recovering, Tyson’s health scare has reignited fears over his safety heading into the July 20 contest with Paul, who is 30 years his junior.

Many are calling for ‘Iron’ Mike to be pulled out of the fight once again following his flight ordeal at the weekend, but Paul insists it is still going ahead as planned.
