Former world heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have signed contracts to fight each other for the first time later this year, promoters confirmed Monday.
No specific date or venue has been announced for the long-awaited battle of aging British boxers, which will be broadcast live on Netflix. London's Wembley Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park reportedly are under consideration.
'To my friends in Great Britain -- it's happening. It's signed,' Saudi boxing booster Turki Al-Sheikh posted on X.
'Signed, sealed, delivered! AJ v Fury is on!' Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Productions, posted on Instagram.
Fury, 37, is 35-2-1 with 24 knockouts. Fighting for the first time since 2024, he defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision in a 12-round bout in London on April 11.
Joshua, 36, is 29-4 with 26 knockouts. His most recent fight was a sixth-round knockout of Jake Paul in Miami on Dec. 19, 2025.
Joshua is scheduled to face Albania's Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Saudi Arabia. It will be Joshua's first fight since a car accident in Nigeria last December that claimed the lives of two of his close friends.
