A potential showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remains one of the most anticipated clashes in boxing, regardless of the outcome of their next fights, according to Top Rank President Todd DuBoef. Speaking about the growing demand for a Fury-Joshua bout, DuBoef emphasized that the fight would be a massive spectacle, with or without their next victories.

The heavyweight division has been buzzing with talk of Fury vs. Joshua for years, and although negotiations have fallen through on several occasions, DuBoef insists that a showdown between the two British boxing giants is inevitable. “Whether they win or lose their next fights, this fight still makes all the sense in the world. The public wants it, and it’s a mega-event,” DuBoef told reporters.

Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has been riding high since his trilogy victory over Deontay Wilder and is set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout that could make him the undisputed heavyweight champion. On the other hand, Joshua, who recently rebounded with a win over Jermaine Franklin after back-to-back losses to Usyk, is gearing up for his next opponent, with talks of a potential clash with American knockout artist Deontay Wilder.

Despite their recent trajectories, DuBoef believes that Fury vs. Joshua is the fight that will capture the global imagination. “You have two massive personalities, both former world champions, both from the UK, and their styles would create an incredible fight. It’s the kind of event that transcends boxing and appeals to casual fans as well as die-hard enthusiasts.”

Fury and Joshua have had a long-standing rivalry, with fans and analysts frequently debating who would come out on top in the ring. Fury, known for his slick boxing skills and towering frame, would be facing Joshua’s powerful punch and more traditional boxing style. It’s a matchup that has boxing fans salivating, and DuBoef is confident that the financial and promotional elements are already in place to make it happen.

The road to this potential fight has been filled with twists and turns. In 2021, Fury and Joshua were reportedly close to agreeing on a blockbuster fight before Fury was ordered to fight Wilder in their third encounter. Since then, negotiations have stalled multiple times due to scheduling conflicts and Joshua’s losses to Usyk, but both fighters have expressed interest in making the bout happen.

Even with their current fight schedules, DuBoef argues that a Fury vs. Joshua event would still be box office gold, no matter the results of their respective matchups. “Sometimes, it’s not just about who’s on a winning streak. It’s about the excitement of two giants going head-to-head, and that’s exactly what Tyson and Anthony bring to the table,” DuBoef added.

With Fury’s undefeated record and Joshua’s ability to come back from adversity, the clash between the two would be a massive draw in both the UK and internationally. Talks of the fight have gained renewed interest as Joshua works his way back to the top of the heavyweight division, and Fury continues his reign as the WBC champion.
