For the longest time, boxing fans have been waiting patiently to see boxing stars Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury fight each other. Now, those fans are finally being rewarded.
Joshua and Fury have officially set a date that will see the two British stars fight to see who comes out on top in the ring. Both Joshua and Fury last fought, and won in July, and will now take the ring against each other before the end of the year.
A big reason for the delay in the fight was a disagreement on where the fight should take place, but they were able to come to terms with an agreed location. Here’s the latest on the Joshua vs. Fury fight.

This will be the first time that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have fought in their careers.
The two sides have been circling each other for a while, but they have not been able to agree on where the fight should take place. Now that they settled on a location, there were no more hurdles for them to cross that would stop this fight from happening.
Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi government official who is also the co-founder of Zuffa Boxing, took credit for getting this fight to happen.
For 15 years no one has been able to make this fight. Back in April, I said that any announcement would come from me. I can now confirm that Fury Vs Joshua will be coming to the UK, as I promised British boxing fans. The time for talking is over ……..🥊
