Sky Sports Champions League •

After years of anticipation, the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua mega-fight is finally signed and confirmed. Eddie Hearn declared the bout "signed, sealed and delivered" following Fury's recent victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov. This all-British heavyweight showdown between former world champions represents boxing's most eagerly anticipated matchup in recent memory, with promoters working toward a Q4 2026 showdown.

The location remains unconfirmed though expected to be a major UK venue like Wembley or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Joshua first faces Kristian Prenga in July as a tune-up bout, while injuries remain the most likely obstacle to the fight's completion. Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh is backing the event and has stipulated a performance from pop star Dua Lipa, adding another layer of spectacle to this historic matchup.

Both fighters return after periods away from the sport. Fury has already made his comeback, while Joshua trains with former rival Oleksandr Usyk, who has defeated both fighters twice. Their recent performances against varied opposition add unpredictability to the contest. With Joshua's tune-up fight approaching, the world will watch closely to see how both heavyweights prepare for what could be their final career-defining encounter.
