Anthony Joshua wants Tyson Fury in 2025: Nigerian-born boxer ready for British throwdown

This year offers the ideal setting for the eagerly anticipated bout that boxing fans have been waiting for.

Given both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua must make important decisions regarding their boxing careers, an all-British bout is finally anticipated in 2025.

Anthony Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, seems prepared to face Tyson Fury in the ring.

Throughout their careers, Fury and Joshua have each lost to Oleksandr Usyk twice.

The heavyweight champion defeated Anthony Joshua by a split decision in August 2022 and a unanimous decision in September 2021.

In 2024, the "Gypsy King," Tyson Fury, was then narrowly defeated by Usyk via a split decision in May and in unanimous decision in December.

When Andy Ruiz Jr. stunned Joshua with a stunning seventh-round TKO at Madison Square Garden in June 2019, it was one of the most startling upsets in boxing history.

In September, IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois stunned Anthony Joshua with a knockout in another contest, raising questions over whether the two-time heavyweight champion will retire.

Joshua was knocked down four times in a startling battle, which prompted serious questions about the cause of his defeat.

The 35-year-old is aware of the importance of the fight and feels that considering their present professional paths, there is no reason why the much-awaited fight shouldn't happen next year.

Joshua acknowledged the importance of the fight and publicly asked for it in a recent interview.
