Read our privacy policy Frank Warren has said Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua is ‘90 per cent’ done as anticipation grows over the potential all-British super-fight. The basis of the deal, 90 per cent of what counts, is okay; 10 per cent we’ve got to sort out.” A deal was signed in 2021 that set up two fights between Joshua and Fury, but it fell through when Deontay Wilder took legal action and secured a trilogy bout with the “Gypsy King”. Anthony Joshua suffered his second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk last month “When you’re a promoter, you’re an optimist. I’m excited about it as a fight, because I always felt that Tyson has the beating of AJ, and now we’re gonna find out if we get this over the line.” Fury is unbeaten, while 32-year-old Joshua’s defeats by Usyk followed a 2019 loss to Andy Ruiz Jr, who stopped AJ in June of that year before losing to the Briton on points that December.
