Anthony Joshua fight delayed while Tyson Fury takes tune-up bout?

Tyson Fury isn’t fighting Anthony Joshua next.

Fury is scheduled to fight Mariusz Wach on July 24 at Max Muay Thai
Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand. The bout will be broadcast on
Netflix.

Fury (35-2) scored a unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov in
his last outing this past April. The win saw “The Gypsy King”
return to action for the first time since 2024, rebounding from
consecutive title losses against Oleksandr Usyk. Fury is in talks
for a massive matchup against Joshua, with promoters clashing over
rights for the bout. His upcoming fight against Wach is being
considered a tune-up bout for a potential matchup against
Joshua.

Meanwhile, Wach is currently 1-3 in his last four outings. The
former WBO title challenger has previously suffered a knockout loss
against Makhmudov in 2022. Wach’s last two bouts were 1 vs. 3 MMA
matches against influencers.
