"Anthony Joshua openly threatens violence against Tyson Fury in an uncommon outburst on social media"
Anthony Joshua, the former heavyweight champion, is gearing up for his highly-anticipated return to the ring after an injury-induced hiatus. In a recent announcement, Joshua expressed his desire to face off against fellow Brit Tyson Fury, setting the stage for a potential all-British heavyweight clash.
Joshua's comeback comes after a disappointing loss to Daniel Dubois last September in London, a defeat that saw him knocked out for the first time in his career. Despite the setback, Joshua remains optimistic, aiming for a 'roll of the dice' next summer, possibly against Fury.
Meanwhile, Fury seemingly reversed his retirement last month, leaving fans hopeful for a potential match-up between the two heavyweight titans. However, Fury has yet to publicly declare his interest in facing off with Joshua. Instead, he has opted to call out Oleksandr Usyk for a trilogy, despite suffering two defeats to the Ukrainian last year.
Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has plans to match him with a carefully selected opponent at the beginning of 2026. Potential contenders include Tony Yoka, but no official announcement has been made yet. Interestingly, Joshua has also negotiated with YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul over a potential crossover clash in early 2026, but it remains to be seen if this will be his chosen opponent.
Elsewhere in the heavyweight division, Joseph Parker will face Fabio Wardley in a world title eliminator on October 25 at the O2 Arena in London. Joshua has expressed his support for Parker on his Instagram, adding fuel to the speculation that a match-up between the two Brits could be on the horizon.
In other news, Gervonta Davis is set to meet WBA lightweight champion Jake Paul in November, while Canelo Alvarez expressed that he could dissect Terence Crawford's career and record in minutes, but did not elaborate further.
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the next moves from these heavyweight contenders, one thing is certain: the sport is set for some thrilling match-ups in the coming months.
