JAKARTA - A new date for the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight was revealed. Turkey-led Saudi Arabian Sports Authority Alalshikh scheduled the duel in March 2025.
However, that date can still change. Turkey Alasikh said plans for the Fury vs Joshua fight depended on the results of the duel for the undisputed heavyweight world title between Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, 2024.
You see, the Fury vs Usyk clash includes a rematch clause. According to the plan, the rematch clause will take place on October 12 or 13, 2024.

If the rematch is true and Fury is not seriously injured then the schedule for the fight against Joshua remains as planned.
The choice of the date was deemed appropriate by Turkey Alalshikh. You see, Joshua will also return to the ring in September 2024.
He will face winner Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois for the race for the IBF belt. The Hrgovic vs Dubois duel will be held on June 1, 2024.
"Whenever they tell me that there is a date, you know I will be 100 percent ready. That will happen in London, Wembley Stadium."
"This is what I was told. If that's what they say, usually they will support their words. So let's just do it."
"Wembley, September 20 or 21," Anthony Joshua told talkSPORT.
Even though it is predicted that they will face the winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois, Anthony Joshua insists that whoever the opponent is ready.
"On June 1 in Saudi Arabia they got a 5 vs 5. There is Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois, and you have Zhilei Zhang vs Deontay Wilder."
"So, if one of them looks good, looks best, Turkish His Majesty Alalshikh says to me, 'I want you to fight (he).'"
"What he said was, 'In the future I want people to look back at your record and say that you are taking your best.'"
"I said, 'Now you speak my language.' So, I'm sure that's what I'm going to fight, one of them," said Joshua again.
Turkey Alalshikh has leaked plans for Joshua vs Fury's fight. However, Anthony Joshua is reluctant to think about the fight that is still next year.
He is currently focusing on the nearest duel in September 2024 for the IBF belt. After all, victory in the clashes will lead him to a duel fight against Fury.
"We are on the same page and he is also on the same page as the fans. However, Fury has his obligations to Oleksandr Usyk."
"So, I have to make sure I stay focused and disciplined. Go ahead and go through the opponent so that I can get closer to getting a chance against Tyson Fury," said AJ again.
Previously, Anthony Joshua returned to the ring in March 2024. He was able to beat Francis Ngannou by knockout.
