According to boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua will face Tyson Fury later this year. However, Hearn cautioned that Joshua must defeat Oleksandr Usyk first. Hearn said this in response to a query on darts prodigy Luke Littler in a recent Piers Morgan interview. The two heavyweight superstars have long been discussed for a Battle of Britain match, and it now appears certain to take place.

Following his victory over Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, last month, it is said that Joshua is holding off on revealing his next opponent.

Eddie Hearn, the boxing promoter, has revealed that Anthony Joshua will take against Tyson Fury this year. The promoter of boxing Eddie Hearn divulges Anthony Joshua will face Tyson Fury later this year, according to boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. However, Hearn cautioned that Joshua must defeat Oleksandr Usyk first. Hearn said this in response to a query on darts prodigy Luke Littler in a recent Piers Morgan interview.

The two heavyweight superstars have long been discussed for a Battle of Britain match, and it now appears certain to take place. Following his victory over Francis Ngannou, the former UFC heavyweight champion, last month, it is said that Joshua is holding off on revealing his next opponent. "I'm going to say that Fury vs. AJ happens this year because the darts Championship takes place in December and January," he declared. "I will thus state that Fury vs. AJ [occurs first]."

Although Fury and Joshua had previously agreed to a fight, it was ultimately called off as negotiations between their teams broke down, and Fury went on to face Deontay Wilder in a trilogy battle. In the meanwhile, Usyk stunned the field by defeating Joshua twice to win the British champion titles. "Everyone wants to see this fight, and on August 12th, Anthony Joshua will take on Dillon Whyte. In Saudi Arabia, he will then face Deontay Wilder, and the winner has to be Tyson Fury," Hearn stated.

To take on an MMA fighter who has never before engaged in combat, Tyson Fury declined the opportunity to face Usyk, the most significant boxing match of all time, and the undisputed heavyweight world championship. "We must be honest—Fury is only concerned with the money." The 44-year-old went on to say that for Fury to be considered a real boxing great, he needs to defeat both Usyk and Anthony Joshua, especially Usyk.
