[Boxing] Fury Vs Joshua confirmed for Q4 2026. ** The Battle of Britain **

[pawel7777]

Anthony Joshua is a heavy weight boxer fully participating in boxing, and on the other side, Fury is also a well known boxer, but has reached his own retirement age. As for me, I still Anthony Joshua still has an edge over Fury. He is younger, and still full of strength, and despite the accident he had, he must have regained his full strength by now, and will fight to win this very match.
As for odds, sometimes the bookies uses odd to confuse bettors, and as the match draw near, the clear picture of the match will begin to unveil it's self, and the odd will likely change or drop.

Sure, but you shouldn't be ignoring the fact that AJ has been badly KO'd twice in his career. This matters a lot. Once your body shuts down after a hard punch for the first time, the risk of that happening again increases. And there's nothing a fighter can do about that. It doesn't matter how often and how hard you train, a weakened neural resilience is not something that can be fixed in a gym.

I speculate that they can transfer this fight in the United Arab Emirates

I would not rely on a venue in that area due to ongoing hostilities and impediment to air traffic.  Perhaps it would be ok, maybe even they agree a peace but maybe isnt a good plan to make for any profitable venture so I doubt they take that option when something more reliable less risky is possible elsewhere.

Agreed! However, also consider the date of the fight. It will be on Q4 2026 as mentioned in the title. It also appears that the Donald and Iran will have an agreement and declare peace sooner than the date of the fight.

Also, this fight will also be a good event for tourists to encourage to enter the United Arab Emirates again. This will improve revenue for tourism in this jurisdiction.

The question is do United Arab Emirates needs to tourism?

How can a boxing fight promote their country when it is not well known that they have boxers? So I doubt that this could be a reason why the fight needs to go to the Middle East. The country is already rich for all we known.

This fight should happen in Britain.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Right and from the title itself, it's the All-British fight so it's obvious that this fight should happen there. And with the tension still high in the Middle East then it might be very difficult to set this one up in the Gulf region.

Joshua’s tune-up against Kristian Prenga, as well as Canelo vs. Mbilli, are taking place in Saudi Arabia. The UK is the natural home for this fight, but it could still be moved to the Middle East if that’s what the Saudis decide. Promoting their country as a global hub for entertainment has higher priority than the safety of the fighters.

The fighters only agree to fight over there because they can make a lot of bank, but you can’t really compare the atmosphere of a packed UK stadium to that of a small Saudi venue where it is dead silent.

[coinrifft]

And I read that they will have a Ring Magazine Announces Custom Belt for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

So everything is already set for the "Fight of Britain".

Most likely it's just the question as where it is going to be held as it looks like there is a call for this fight to go to Middle East instead of Britain. But we will what is the better option for the organizers and for sure they will take into account the fans of this two as well that might travel to Middle East to watch it live.

I agree that this fight should happen in the United Kingdom, however, it appears that you forgot the mention of high taxes. I only argued that this fight can be moved to Saudi Arabia because there will be no taxes if Mike Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will agree to move this.

Also, I was mistaken. It is not United Arab Emirates, I meant Saudi Arabia hehehee. In any case this asks the same question. You ask why does Saudi Arabia need tourism? This is because of the Arab billionaire Turki. He is Saudi Arabia's chairman of the general entertainment authority. His mission it to transform Saudi Arabia's tourism, entertainment and culture sectors and attract tourists!

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

So they have a date as the fight Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury sign contracts for November 20 fight in New York.

Interesting venue though, I thought that this one will be in UK as both of them are domestic rivals. But we can't deny how crazy their fans is, and they could be willing to go and travel to US just to watch this fight.

According to the Daily Mail, Saudi boxing financier Turki Alalshikh was open to staging the fight in the UK provided the financial case could be made and the relevant figures demonstrated. Ultimately, however, that case could not be made, paving the way for the fight to move to New York and the iconic Madison Square Garden.

Hosting the fight in Saudi Arabia will really increas the tourist attractions in the country and also creat means of livelihood to some member of the country when people come to watch the fight between this too great fighter. Turki Al-Shiekh is a business man and knows whow it will benefit the countries economy with this coming match. Many of the both Boxers fans will like to be there and witness it live on stage.

Thanks for sharing!
I'm also quite surprised they didn't go with the UK. I thought it would either be the UK or Saudi Arabia, but the latter is not in the safest location right now. I wonder if tax reasons played a factor for not doing it in the UK.
According to the article, the deal is not yet finalised, so we could see some changes, but it sounds like the location is already set despite both of the fighters wanting to fight in the UK.

I wonder where it is going to be broadcast. Hopefully it will not be PPV and I hope it will be in a UK-friendly time.

It's good to see things moving forward.

I’m not sure I believe this will actually happen yet. If it does, I think Fury is in trouble. I don’t think he’s fighting at the same level as he once was. Joshua on the other hand just nearly ripped Jake Paul’s face off. I think Fury knows this wouldn’t be good for him. I don’t think this fight ends up happening.

The contract of this fight is already signed, so the fight will provably continue. Unless if there are several factors or other changes that can possibly affect this.

Fury's camp still confident that he can still fight and take down Joshua. While Joshua team also believe that this is great time to prove that they are more dominant.

So whether Fury is already pass on his prime or maybe not in good shape, still the fight is already set and now its up for both camps to honor the deal they signed and give the fans what they want to see on their match up.

I certainly pray Aj gets to win this because am a huge fan and I did bet on his last match having come off from recovery after an accident he had. He did his best to recover also from the fight against Prenga having knocked him out in the 2nd round and this made his Fury deal remain intact.
It's challenging for him though and I can see he still got the resilience and stamina to become a legend in the boxing community.

Tyson fury also won after a 7th round encounter victory over Mariusz Watch in Thailand, so both fighters are coming in hot and ready to go.
Still am going to place my bet on AJ.

[Z-tight]

With the change of venue, new contracts would have to be drawn and signed, so i would be 100% certain it is happening when the new contracts are signed and everything is official. The both fighters didn't really impress me in their last fights, though you could call the respective bouts a preparatory one, but they were far from their best.

If the fight happens, my money would surely be on a Joshua win. I think he is in better shape than Tyson Fury and could hurt him real good.

I missed watching Fury's fight against Wach. It was largely intentional. I never thought it was an interesting fight. I even wondered why Fury had to pick so poor a match as Wach. The man was so old, beaten. He had 7 losses out of his 10 recent fights.

What I was able to watch, though, was Joshua's fight against Prenga. And while Prenga is a solid puncher, I think Fury's could be a much more powerful punch. If Joshua was able to recover fast from Prenga, I don't think he could against Fury's knockout punch.

Both had shown weak performance in their last fights but Fury remains the favorite. Your pick has better odds.

Does anyone have the latest news updates or rumors on where this fight might be? The last news update I have heard is Anthony Joshua wants this to be in the United Kingdom, however, it appears that the Arab billionaire is telling Joshua to keep quiet and have the fight in Madison Square Garden. However, according to uncle Dana, he does not care hehehe. He will bring these boxers where they want to fight!

[TopTort777]

By making this fight happen outside UK, they have spoiled everything. This will not be the battle for Britain, but will be a regular fight between two big names. Saudi Arabia was mentioned as place to held the fight. I think it is also not the best place due to closure to Iran and unstable situation nearby. I and many were expecting fight to happen at Wembley Stadium. Its capacity is way bigger than Madison Square Garden.

As per daily mail, the fight will be still at MSG. I like the way Eddie is thinking this game is too big to happen in UK, and moving it to US will also give more benefit in term of financial by receive more money from selling ticket and PPV that may cost more.

[TopTort777]

I have read that one of the issues is that they wanted to have this event on Wembley, but they wanted to have it as late as possible to match translation time of US, where they think will be majority of audience. They would have to make fight very late at night for locals. Not everyone will be fine going to stadium to watch fight at 02:00 or later for example. More payable audience will get the fight.

It might be good to update the title as well to reflect the date of the fight.

Joshua on the other hand just nearly ripped Jake Paul’s face off. I think Fury knows this wouldn’t be good for him. I don’t think this fight ends up happening.

Everything is already finalized as they have the date and the venue itself. So I guess Fury has no other excuses but to go and fight Joshua. And maybe this could be his last fight after all and so with that, this is a retirement fight for him and could be getting his final windfall money and be set to have a good life when he retires.

It's good that they are coming together to make this fight happen; they have to settle it right now or forever regret their action.

Neither fighter will settle for a defeat or even a draw because the title of the greatest British heavyweight champion of all time is at stake; whether it's at MSG or Wembley, I don't think it will affect the fans.

I'll go for Fury here; skill set and motivation, he has an edge over Joshua, but of course this is Joshua, and we cannot underestimate him.
