“The British heavyweight fight everyone wants to see: Joshua vs Fury could take place in the UK”
The highly anticipated British heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could potentially take place in the UK, with Wembley Stadium being considered as the venue for the showdown. This exciting news comes after Bob Arum, Top Rank’s promoter, revealed that there is a chance Joshua could face Fury next following his upcoming fight against Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Fury and Usyk are set to clash in a historic undisputed heavyweight championship bout, with a rematch likely to follow. However, Arum hinted at the possibility of Fury facing Joshua in a blockbuster all-British showdown at Wembley Stadium, which would be a major event in the world of boxing.
“If Fury is successful against Usyk and does a massive fight at Wembley Stadium against Joshua, that would really put an exclamation point to his great career,” Arum stated in an interview with Sky Sports.
There is also speculation that Usyk could potentially step aside to allow Joshua to challenge Fury sooner rather than later, especially if Fury emerges victorious on May 18. The financial backing from the Saudi Arabian sovereign fund could play a significant role in making the fight happen this year.
While Fury is gearing up for his upcoming bout against Usyk in Riyadh, a potential fight with Joshua may not necessarily take place in Saudi Arabia. Arum expressed his belief that staging the fight at Wembley with a massive crowd would be more beneficial for the image of the event.
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcome of Fury vs Usyk, Arum emphasized the competitiveness of the upcoming fight and the need to focus on the present before looking ahead to potential future matchups. With all four major titles on the line, the Fury vs Usyk showdown promises to be a fiercely contested battle that fans won’t want to miss.
Don’t forget to tune in to Fury vs Usyk live on Sky Sports Box Office on May 18 for what promises to be an epic clash between two of the best heavyweights in the world.
