Anthony Joshua offered world title shot by heavyweight champion: “I’ll wait for you”

Anthony Joshua has been offered a world heavyweight title shot in 2027, contingent on him first defeating Tyson Fury in a blockbuster British heavyweight clash expected in November 2026. Before that fight, both men will compete in warm-up bouts on the same weekend — Fury faces 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand on July 24, while Joshua takes on Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on July 25. If Joshua defeats Fury, he would then pursue a third world title, with a reigning heavyweight champion signalling willingness to wait for him.
