  • Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have signed a contract for their highly anticipated fight, which is expected to take place in the UK this autumn, potentially in November.
  • Anthony Joshua is scheduled to have a warm-up fight against Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 25 July.
  • Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, and manager, Spencer Brown, have stated that Fury also wishes to have a warm-up fight before facing Joshua.
  • This potential warm-up bout for Fury would follow his recent victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov on 11 April, marking his fifth return from retirement.
  • There are concerns that warm-up fights for either boxer could result in injuries, potentially delaying the long-awaited clash between the two former heavyweight champions.
