Promoter Eddie Hearn insists the long‑awaited Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury clash will land in the UK this November. He says a clause in the contract forces the fight to occur in Britain, with Wembley Stadium the clear favourite. Hearn added the venue could shift only if Turki Alalshikh proposes a different location.

Joshua will return to the ring on July 25 in a tune‑up against Albanian Kristian Prenga, while Fury plans a warm‑up bout on August 1 in Dublin. If both win, the two heavyweights will collide in November, a match that could redraw the British title landscape and spark a global betting frenzy. The bout will also showcase the resilience of UK boxing, as both fighters have faced setbacks—Joshua’s recent car crash and Fury’s brief retirement—making their November clash a redemption narrative that could revive the sport’s domestic interest.

Hearn noted Joshua’s focus has sharpened after a car accident that claimed two teammates. Training with Oleksandr Usyk has boosted his confidence, and the fighter’s 110 per cent commitment signals a serious comeback. Fans now expect a decisive showdown at Wembley, where the fight’s outcome will determine the next undisputed heavyweight champion and cement the venue’s place in boxing history, making the event a headline moment for the sport.
