Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, told Sky Sports the long‑awaited clash with Anthony Joshua remains intact despite no venue or date being set. Both fighters have signed contracts and are eyeing a showdown in late 2026, with speculation drifting between a U.S. arena and a British stadium. Warren stressed that all parties, including Netflix as broadcaster, must reach a consensus, and financial stakes are high.

Joshua will tune up in Jeddah on July 25 against Kristian Prenga, while Fury is still arranging a warm‑up bout with details yet to be confirmed. Warren warned that a loss for either star would derail the super‑fight, but affirmed that once both preliminaries are completed the bout will be slated for late autumn, likely November. Both athletes view the bout as a career‑defining moment.

The promoter emphasized that contractual obligations bind both fighters, and Netflix’s broadcasting preferences will influence the final location. No official announcement will come until the warm‑up fights finish, but the consensus among promoters suggests the fight will proceed as planned. Fans can therefore expect the heavyweight showdown to materialize before the year ends, and ticket prices are expected to reflect the magnitude of the event.
