This is the news that fans have been waiting years for. The Ring magazine relayed that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have reached an agreement on the highly anticipated clash.
“The Battle of Britain” is scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of this year and already promises to be one of the biggest events in the world of boxing.
According to reports, the duel is to be broadcast via the Netflix platform, which only raises the profile of the whole event. The venue of the gala is still not officially confirmed, but there are many indications that the clash will take place at the legendary Wembley Stadium. It’s hardly surprising – such a huge juxtaposition begs for a setting in one of the world’s most recognizable stadiums.
Tyson Fury is a figure who needs no introduction to boxing fans. “Gypsy King” has won championship belts of major federations, including the WBC, and previously also the IBF, WBA and WBO. His record includes victories over such rivals as Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder, with whom he fought a memorable trilogy. For years, Fury was regarded as one of the most elusive and complete heavyweights.
Anthony Joshua, on the other hand, is a former unified world champion and Olympic gold medalist from London. During his career, he reached for the IBF, WBA and WBO belts, defeating the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker and Alexander Powietkin. Although recent years have brought him some tougher moments, he remains one of the most recognizable names in the heavyweight division.
If reports are confirmed, fans will finally get what they have been waiting for a long time. Fury’s clash with Joshua is not only a fight between two top fistfighters, but also a huge sporting event that could go down in British boxing history.
