Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are gearing up for a £250 million blockbuster fight in 2025.
The highly anticipated showdown is expected to be the biggest event in British boxing history.
Promoters are eyeing Wembley Stadium as the likely venue for the fight.
The arena could hold 90,000 fans, setting the stage for a spectacle of epic proportions.
Reports suggest this fight could become the richest in the sport’s history.
Neither Fury nor Joshua is currently tied to any other opponent.
Promoter Eddie Hearn called it a “once-in-a-lifetime” event.
“There’s only one fight for Tyson Fury, and that’s Anthony Joshua,” Hearn said.
“It’s the biggest fight in the history of British boxing. Everyone wants to see it. For me, Anthony Joshua against Fury is the one—at Wembley. It will be a huge global event.”
The fight follows Tyson Fury’s back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury lost his WBC heavyweight title in their first bout and failed to reclaim it in the rematch in Saudi Arabia.
After the second loss, Fury left the ring visibly upset and later criticised the judges.
“They gave Usyk a Christmas gift,” Fury said.
At a post-match press conference, Fury hinted at uncertainty about his career.
“What’s next for me? I’m going home and having some time off. You might see me fight again, you might not,” he stated.
Despite these comments, many believe Fury is eyeing Joshua as his next opponent.
Earlier this year, Fury acknowledged the need for the two to meet in the ring.
“At the end of the day, it would be a travesty if we didn’t fight,” Fury remarked.
This isn’t the first time a Fury-Joshua fight has been planned.
In 2021, talks of a £200 million fight in Saudi Arabia gained momentum.
However, legal issues forced Fury into a trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder instead.
The delayed showdown has only increased anticipation among fans.
The fight’s value has now surged to £250 million, largely due to Saudi investment.
Turki Alalshikh, a key figure in Saudi sports, is reportedly driving the deal.
Both fighters could earn over £100 million each if the fight materialises.
Anthony Joshua, a former unified heavyweight champion, has had a rocky few years.
In September, he suffered a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois.
Joshua has not yet commented on the possibility of facing Fury.
Fury, however, has not hesitated to taunt his rival.
“Joshua’s in tatters at the moment. He has got to pick up the pieces from his last fight,” Fury said.
Despite the tension, both men have expressed respect for each other’s abilities.
“There’s a lot of unfinished business between us,” Fury said in an earlier interview.
Promoters are considering a two-fight deal, with one bout potentially in Riyadh.
This would maximise global viewership and financial returns.
Eddie Hearn is optimistic about securing agreements for both venues.
“This fight has the power to transcend boxing and become a global cultural event,” Hearn stated.
The fight would not only crown a definitive British heavyweight king but also attract fans worldwide.
Boxing analysts predict the bout could redefine both fighters’ legacies.
For Fury, a victory would mark a comeback after his losses to Usyk.
For Joshua, it offers a chance to restore his status as one of the sport’s greats.
“This fight is about legacy,” said boxing commentator Carl Froch.
“Win or lose, these men are putting it all on the line. That’s what makes boxing so compelling.”
