Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have reportedly agreed to meet in a mouth-watering heavyweight showdown - as major details have been revealed.

Back in December, reports emerged that the pair were due to finally settle their long-time feud in the ring in 2026. However, just days after his knockout win over Jake Paul this past Christmas, Joshua was involved in a tragic car crash in Nigeria, which resulted in the deaths of his two close friends Sina Ghami and Lateef 'Latz' Ayodele.

There were fears that Joshua might not ever fight again after he cheated death, but the former two-time heavyweight world champion is now back doing some light training amid talks of a potential return to the ring this summer. 'AJ' has been mooted to face ex-rival Dillian Whyte before chasing a clash with Fury.

According to boxing journalist Gareth A Davies, both Fury and Joshua have agreed to meet in the ring. Speaking on talkSPORT, Davies revealed that the fight is 'signed' before claiming it's been 'agreed'. "The Fury-Joshua fight is signed," he said. "Okay, it is signed in the background. I've got that on good authority."
