Tyson Fury is reportedly considering an interim fight before his long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua in November, according to promoter Frank Warren. The two heavyweight champions have finally signed contracts to face each other later this year, but Fury may opt for a warm-up bout to stay sharp.
Potential Interim Bout for Fury
Speaking to talkSPORT, Warren revealed that Fury might seek another fight to keep himself active ahead of the Joshua showdown. "Tyson may want another fight to keep him ticking over, we will see," Warren stated. This development suggests that the Gypsy King is taking no chances and wants to ensure he is in peak condition for the biggest fight of his career.
Details of the Joshua-Fury Deal
The two British heavyweights have signed an agreement to meet in the ring in November, ending years of speculation and negotiations. The fight is expected to be one of the most lucrative in boxing history, with both fighters set to earn substantial purses. However, Fury's potential interim bout could delay the announcement of a specific date and venue.
Warren did not provide further details on who Fury might face in an interim fight, but several names have been floated in the media. The move could also help Fury generate additional revenue and maintain his momentum after his previous victory.
Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the Joshua fight, but they may have to wait a little longer as Fury finalizes his plans. The boxing world will be watching closely to see how this develops.
