JAKARTA Former British two-time world champion Anthony Joshua wants the fight against compatriot Tyson Fury to occur in this year's calendar.
The duel between Joshua and Fury has long been planned, but has never happened. If it were realized, then their meeting would be the largest in British heavyweight history.
"I've been involved in a lot of fights, but this (the fight against Tyson Fury) has to happen in 2025," Joshua said as reported by The Sun.
The meeting of the two big names is reportedly worth 500 million. The chances of their duels occurring twice, respectively in Saudi Arabia and London.
The winner of this duel will certainly be the best boxer in England and the second in the world after the majority ruler of the Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight belt from Ukraine.
