Summary
Madison Square Garden will host Tyson Fury’s long-awaited bout with Anthony Joshua, with the all-British heavyweight clash expected to take place in November though no exact date was announced.
Turki Alalshikh helped unlock the fight after both men signed a contract with the Saudi entertainment chief, ending years of failed attempts to finalize the matchup.
Fury, 38, returned in January after retiring in December 2024 following a second loss to Oleksandr Usyk, and stopped Mariusz Wach in a July tune-up in Thailand.
Fans pushed back at the New York venue choice, questioning why one of British boxing’s biggest fights was not staged at Wembley or elsewhere in the UK.
The matchup had previously collapsed in 2021 when Fury was ordered by a US judge to complete a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder instead.
