Introduction

Eddie Hearn says talks for a big fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are almost finished. Joshua will have a fight in July, then fight Fury later this year.

Main Body

On April 11, Joshua watched Fury''s fight. Fury asked Joshua to fight. Joshua did not say yes right away. Hearn said Joshua wants real talks, not just a show. No contract is signed yet, but they are finishing the last points. Joshua will fight in July, then fight Fury in November. The July fight is by Matchroom. The Fury fight is by Sela, a company from Saudi Arabia. Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh will give money and choose the place. Hearn wants the fight in the UK, but Alalshikh decides. Champion Oleksandr Usyk talked and said Joshua should have a comeback fight first. Joshua trained with Usyk in Ukraine after a car accident in Nigeria. The accident killed two people from Joshua''s team. Fury won his last fight by points after losing to Usyk in December 2024. That loss made him retire for the fifth time. Fury will not fight again before the Joshua fight.

Conclusion

No contract is signed yet, but they have a plan and a timeline. Saudi money and Usyk''s advice helped make the plan. They need to finish the contract details.
