Fury wants Joshua after Makhmudov fight

Fury wants Joshua after Makhmudov fight

Tyson Fury says he wants to face long-time rival Anthony Joshua after his heavyweight comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov this Sunday.

The 37-year-old faces the Russian at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in his first outing for 16 months, having returned from his fifth retirement.

While an all-British super-fight against Joshua has eluded the sport for a generation, there is renewed hope the pair could finally meet in 2026.


The 36-year-old Joshua last fought in December, stopping Jake Paul in the sixth round of a sanctioned professional contest.

A bout with Fury was reportedly in the works following that victory, but plans were halted after Joshua was involved in a car crash in Nigeria late last year, which claimed the lives of two of his close friends.

The fight programme for Fury and Makhmudov will start at 6am Sunday, and the main event is expected around 9.30am.
