Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: Broadcast Deal to Bring British Blockbuster Closer

Landmark Deal in the Works

ANTHONY JOSHUA's much-anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury is edging closer to reality. Reports suggest that broadcaster DAZN is nearing a groundbreaking deal that would unite promoters Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn under the same banner.

Seismic Shift in Boxing World

According to The Times, DAZN is on the verge of securing a long-term agreement with Queensberry Promotions, potentially aligning both Warren and Hearn's stables. This move is expected to shake up the boxing landscape significantly, with Hearn's Matchroom Boxing already in partnership with DAZN since 2021.

If finalized, the deal would see Joshua and Fury, the respective stars of Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions, housed under the same streaming service. DAZN aims to become the go-to platform for UK boxing, superseding previous TV deals with TNT Sports and Sky Sports for pay-per-view events.

Road to Potential Showdown

While Fury gears up to face Oleksandr Usyk in December following his first career loss to the Ukrainian earlier this year, Joshua is set to take on Daniel Dubois in September for the vacated IBF heavyweight title. If all goes well, a Fury-Joshua clash could be on the horizon in 2025, setting the stage for a historic British boxing spectacle.

Location Still Up in the Air

As excitement mounts for a potential Fury vs Joshua showdown, the location of the anticipated bout remains uncertain. Whether the fight will unfold in Riyadh or London is yet to be determined, adding to the intrigue surrounding this momentous matchup.
