Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua details around date and number of fights | Boxing | Sport
Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren believes his bout with Anthony Joshua will break records, while he has also revealed the two fighters are only expected to enter the ring together once.
The two British boxing heroes will finally come to blows later this year, with the fight expected to take place in the UK around October. Warren appeared on The Sun‘s Corner Talk show to discuss the blockbuster bout and believes it is just six months away. He said: “Tyson signed a couple of months ago. He is signed up and ready to go. We thought AJ had signed – but he hadn’t. But now we are told that he has.
“I would think around October because it starts getting too cold to do a football stadium in the UK.
“I think it will be a massive fight because of the guys involved and the money they are generating and how long people have been waiting for it.”
Warren predicted the fight will likely take place at Wembley Stadium and will smash the box office records for any fight. He added: “I think it will be a big, big fight and it may turn out to be the biggest.
“Wembley’s current biggest gate is Tyson and Dillian Whyte, that broke all the box office records for any type of event.
“This one has all the hype, so if it goes to Wembley then I would be surprised if it doesn’t break the record.”
The promoter also confirmed that Fury v Joshua is a one-fight deal at the moment, but this could all change dependent on the result. He said: “I have no idea what AJ is getting, we thought he had signed and thought we would announce the fight after Tyson’s last fight, in the ring at Tottenham. But it turned out he hadn’t actually signed.
“But now they have announced his warm-up I am sure it is all signed. And I am sure there won’t be a slip-up.
“At the moment it is a one-fight deal.”
