Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury fight signed: what to expect

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have officially signed a contract to fight each other, with the heavyweight bout scheduled to take place later in 2026. The fight has long been anticipated by boxing fans, and former world champion Carl Frampton, writing as a Sunday Life sports columnist on May 1, 2026, argues the matchup may actually be more compelling now than it would have been when both fighters were in their prime. The two British heavyweights will finally collide in the ring after years of failed negotiations.
