Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua- Winner Takes It All
WBC champion Tyson Fury had his last appearance in February 2020 against Deontay Wilder. He claimed the world title with a lopsided KO win to craft the path for a title unification clash with Anthony Joshua.
Nevertheless, Joshua had to fight his way through a scratchy loss against Andy Ruiz Jr. He bounced back stronger from the defeat and reclaimed his unified titles in 2019 by vanquishing Ruiz Jr. in a rematch.

That said, ‘AJ’ further returned to the KO column by stopping Kubrat Pulev in December 2020. Thus, it set the ultimate stage for a unification fight.
While Fury has already reached Las Vegas and is undergoing an active fight camp, Joshua is yet to announce his next move. But with all the confirmation on board, we can expect to receive a fight date and venue soon.
