Joshua vs Fury: ‘Battle of Britain’ on the Horizon – What Will Happen?

Fury’s influence was palpable throughout the week in Saudi Arabia, where discussions about Joshua inevitably included mentions of Fury. The lineal heavyweight champion, often seen alongside boxing figure Turki Alalshikh, was a prominent figure in the lead-up to Joshua’s highly anticipated bout with Francis Ngannou, hinting at a potential future showdown.

The narrative of a ‘Battle of Britain’ took center stage, with suggestions that the winner of Joshua-Ngannou would earn a shot at the victor of Fury’s clash with Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship. However, whether this storyline will materialize remains to be seen.

Fury urged Joshua to defeat Ngannou, while Joshua and his team stressed the importance of Fury handling business against Usyk, who had previously defeated Joshua twice.

As Joshua delivered a dominant knockout performance against Ngannou, Fury watched on, impressed by Joshua’s display. With Joshua fulfilling his end of the bargain, attention now turns to the anticipated rematch scheduled for May 18.

While boxing fans eagerly await the potential showdown between Joshua and Fury, there are uncertainties and challenges along the way, including mandatory challengers and other contenders vying for a shot at the title. Nonetheless, the prospect of a Joshua-Fury clash continues to loom large, driving anticipation among fight enthusiasts.
