Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua – Does This Long-Awaited Clash Still Excite Boxing Fans?
Tyson Fury is scheduled to fight Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. The hype surrounding the bout is massive as Fury returns from retirement, aiming to reassert dominance in heavyweight boxing again.
Despite the dangerous opponent, Fury remains the fan favourite and appears confident while discussing future blockbuster fights beyond this matchup. One of the biggest names Fury has mentioned is Anthony Joshua, a long-awaited clash that fans have demanded for years.
In an interview, Fury emphasized the significance of fighting Joshua and highlighted the enormous pay-per-view potential still untapped. “It’s been a massive rivalry across the pond over in England here. It’s been a massive rivalry for over ten years. The British public are still waiting, they still want it desperately. Even if we had a 200,000 seat stadium, we would sell out ten times. That’s how big it is over here,” said Tyson Fury via DAZN Boxing.
A victory against Makhmudov could set the stage for a mega fight, potentially becoming one of boxing’s most lucrative events ever. According to Fury, this fight can take place by the end of 2026, raising excitement among boxing fans.
“I do think I could beat him in anytime. God willing, everything goes fine on Saturday night, and that’s the fight we are looking to make next,” Tyson Fury continued.
Negotiations for this fight repeatedly collapsed due to contractual disputes, promotional differences, and timing issues, frustrating fans hoping for an undisputed heavyweight clash.
Following Joshua’s recent near-death accident, Fury was extremely supportive and has stopped trash-talking AJ. However, fans are still excited to see these two UK superstars fight inside the squared ring.

Tyson Fury shared concerns about his age following the recent Derek Chisora vs. Deontay Wilder fight
The fight between Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder ended with Wilder securing victory after a slow and underwhelming heavyweight contest. Wilder won the bout via late stoppage, capitalizing on Chisora’s fatigue, but neither fighter displayed their usual explosiveness or sharpness.
Fans criticized both veterans for looking sluggish and hesitant, suggesting their age and accumulated damage were finally impacting their performances. Tyson Fury discussed this in detail and expressed concerns about his own age.
“It was hard to watch for me. It was heart breaking, and I have never seen two men slide as much as them two in my life. And I’m thinking, am I f***ing next? Is this me?,” said Tyson Fury via Inside Ring Show.
Fury hilariously mentioned that he has told his teammates to shoot him if he is 10 percent as bad as Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder. It would be interesting to see whether the ‘Gypsy King’ can bring his old skill set after his last 16-month gap.
