Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Fight 'Agreed' with Stunning Netflix Details
In a dramatic turn of events, a heavyweight showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, which seemed off the cards after Joshua's near-death experience, is now reportedly back on and agreed upon by both fighters. According to boxing journalist Gareth A Davies, the fight is "signed" in the background, with major details emerging about a potential Netflix broadcast and a timeline for Joshua's return to the ring.
Joshua's Recovery and Path Back to the Ring
Back in December, Anthony Joshua was involved in a tragic car crash in Nigeria that resulted in the deaths of his two close friends, Sina Ghami and Lateef 'Latz' Ayodele. This incident followed his knockout win over Jake Paul just days earlier, leading to fears that Joshua might never fight again after cheating death. However, the former two-time heavyweight world champion is now back doing light training and is closing in on a return to full training. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, has indicated that Joshua is likely to return to action in late summer, possibly in June or July, with plans for a fight against ex-rival Dillian Whyte before pursuing the clash with Fury.
Fury's Comeback and Netflix's Boxing Power Move
Tyson Fury, who stunned fans by announcing his retirement last year only to reverse it months later, is scheduled for a comeback fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on April 11, which will air on Netflix. Netflix has emerged as a powerhouse in boxing, having previously broadcast high-profile fights like Paul vs Joshua, Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford, Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano, and Paul vs Mike Tyson. Davies revealed that the Fury-Joshua showdown is set to be live on Netflix, likely taking place either late this year or next year, with the deal involving "big money people."
Agreement and Future Plans
Gareth A Davies, speaking on talkSPORT, stated that the Fury-Joshua fight is "agreed" and "signed," based on good authority. He emphasized that the fight is "on the cards and it's going to happen," despite earlier uncertainties. Eddie Hearn has echoed this sentiment, noting that while Joshua is not yet physically ready for a fight with Fury, they are open to the matchup, potentially at the end of 2026 or early in 2027. This all-British heavyweight showdown remains a highly anticipated event in the boxing world, with fans eagerly awaiting further confirmations and official announcements.
