Fury and Joshua shadow-box their way towards overdue $100m showdown

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are both scheduled to fight low-risk opponents this weekend as they build toward a highly anticipated heavyweight showdown expected to generate over $100 million, targeted for November. Fury has won just one fight in nearly three years, outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, while Joshua's only recent win came when he broke Jake Paul's jaw in December. Both fighters suffered notable losses during this period, with Fury losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024 and Joshua being stopped by Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
