Anthony Joshua will return to the ring on July 25 in a tune‑up bout against Kristian Prenga before facing Tyson Fury. Eddie Hearn confirmed the clash, calling it “the biggest piece of business we’ve ever done.” The bout is locked for Q4 2026, with the exact venue still pending for both fans and promoters to celebrate history.

Fury capped the month with a decisive points victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, then signed the mega‑fight. Joshua, recovering from a life‑changing accident that claimed teammates, has trained with former rival Oleksandr Usyk, who backs him. The fight promises to settle a decade‑long rivalry for the UK’s biggest stage of heavyweight history today again.

Both men entered the ring with multiple world titles: Fury as WBC champion after defeating Deontay Wilder, Joshua holding IBF, WBO and WBA belts before losing to Usyk. Their clash could crown an undisputed champion or revive a storied rivalry. The matchup will be watched by millions, cementing its place in British boxing lore for future glory and legacy.

Eddie Hearn’s social post declaring the fight “signed, sealed and delivered” signals the end of months of speculation. With Joshua’s July 25 comeback and Fury’s recent win, the 2026 showdown is set to be the most lucrative and historic heavyweight bout Britain has ever seen, delivering a definitive answer to their rivalry for the world.
