In what could be the most anticipated boxing event of the decade, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have finally found a potential date to settle their rivalry. With Joshua's recent resurgence, marked by a stunning knockout of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, the stage is set for a 2025 blockbuster.
The Path to the Epic Showdown
Joshua's career revival and Fury's dominance have reignited talks of a Battle of Britain. Saudi boxing influencer Turki Alalshikh has laid out preliminary plans for the duo to face off in March 2025, provided Fury first navigates through his commitments with Oleksandr Usyk. The pair are set for a titanic clash on May 18 for the heavyweight title, with a rematch clause already in place for later in the year.
Joshua's Road Back to the Top
At 34, the former two-time unified heavyweight kingpin Joshua isn't waiting idly. He's slated to make a ring return in London's iconic Wembley Stadium this September. Joshua's focus remains sharp, with the intent to "steamroll through opponents" to earn his chance against Fury. The possible opponents emerging from the June 1 event in Saudi Arabia will determine his next challenge.
A Potential Delay in the Works?
The meticulous planning could face hurdles if either Fury or Usyk sustains an injury in their May encounter, potentially pushing back their second fight to early 2025 and affecting the Fury-Joshua timeline. Fans and fighters alike are hopeful that the schedule will hold, leading to a historic collision.
The boxing world watches with bated breath as these titans continue their paths, potentially leading to a clash that will be etched in the annals of boxing history. With high stakes and pride on the line, the Fury vs Joshua fight promises to deliver an epic tale of power, resilience, and the spirit of boxing at its finest.
