Tyson Fury Seeks Warm-Up Fight Before Joshua Clash

Tyson Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, has stated that Fury is seeking a warm-up fight ahead of his highly anticipated bout against Anthony Joshua. Fury recently returned to the ring after a 16-month hiatus, defeating Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In the aftermath of this fight, Fury called for a match against Joshua, claiming to have signed a side deal with Joshua, who is considering a two-fight offer from Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh. This proposal includes a potential fight in July, leading to a major showdown in November.

Brown mentioned that Fury has not fought in a long time and is likely to want a proper warm-up before facing Joshua. The partnership with Netflix is also highlighted, as Fury's last fight was broadcast on the platform, and future fights are expected to follow suit.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, is involved in the negotiations, which need to progress quickly to ensure the fights occur as planned.
