Tyson Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, spoke recently on how possible it was for Anthony Joshua to fight Fury next year.

Both fighters presently have their plates full, both preparing to meet worthy opponents.

Fury’s assigned dance partner is lineal heavyweight champion Oleksander Usyk of Ukraine, while Joshua prepares to face Swedish southpaw Otto Wallin.

Joshua’s bout is scheduled to go down on December 23 at an event that will see former champions like Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker compete.

Many fans dislike the fact that Joshua’s opponent would not be fellow world champion Deontay Wilder who would be facing off with Parker. But Frank Warren said in his comment that Joshua and Wilder are much more likely to fight next year if they won their separate bouts.

Warren said, ‘The joint-main events have a lot of significance as far as boxing’s concerned in as much that Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder are involved in quite tasty and tough fights and should they come through then they’re going to be in a position where I believe they’re going to be facing off next year.

‘That’s a massive, massive fight. A fight that a lot of people, certainly the fans talk about a lot. But to get there they’ve got to get through next Saturday night in Riyadh.

‘Get it out of the way on Saturday and all will be revealed but there’s a will to make this happen and I’m quite sure everybody’s going to be happy with the outcome provided these guys deliver.

‘The most important thing for them, they’ve got to deliver.’
