Although the meeting has been in the works for ten years, it has repeatedly failed due to various reasons. Fans’ hopes were raised when both Fury and Joshua signed with Aalshikh earlier this year.
Fury defeated Mariusz Wach in their July tune-up fight. That same weekend, Joshua defeated Kristian Prenga in his match. However, the competition was further delayed due to disagreements over the location. Netflix wanted the fight to reach a wider audience in the US, but Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn insisted it take place in the UK
“This is one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing,” Aalshikh said after the announcement. “I’m really excited to make this fight happen for the fans.”
Fury opened as a -180 favorite, while Joshua opened as a +150 underdog.
