Joshua vs. Fury Showdown at Risk if Joshua Loses
The highly anticipated heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could be off if Joshua loses his upcoming warm-up bout against Kristian Prenga, a lesser-known Albanian fighter. Promoter Frank Warren, representing Fury, stated that the fight is contingent on Joshua's performance.
Joshua, a two-time world champion, is set to face Prenga in Saudi Arabia. If Joshua loses, it could lead to Fury considering retirement.
Fury, who has been out of the ring for 15 months, is eager to keep mentally focused and is preparing for a potential fight in late October at the earliest. Warren mentioned that Fury is expected to earn a career-high payday, surpassing the reported $80 million he earned against Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
The timeline for the fight remains uncertain, and Warren emphasized the need to focus on the date when Fury will return to the ring.
