Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could finally meet in 2025 – and Deontay Wilder has already picked a winner.

It was a disappointing end to last year for the British heavyweights, with Joshua first being brutally dropped four times and halted by Daniel Dubois in their IBF title clash in September.

Fury meanwhile was looking to get revenge against one-and-only conqueror Oleksandr Usyk, but was beaten via unanimous decision in their heavyweight rematch last month.

Both Fury and AJ have always teased a match-up throughout their heavyweight stints, but it has always failed to materialise due to negotiation breakdown or the arrival of boxing politics

But now with limited options on the table for both British greats, a showdown would still have huge commercial interest given the size of their rivalry globally.Anthony Joshua reveals news about fight in video online

Fury has yet to make a decision on his next move, but could still have a huge future in the heavyweight division given he is largely viewed as the No.2 behind Usyk despite his defeats.

Joshua faces a more challenging rebuild, but has offered hope he could fight on if he is able to beat Fury.

The boxing world have always had their say on the victor in a potential blockbuster clash, and they will likely barely be separated again.

The ‘Bronze Bomber’ first fought in a controversial draw with Fury in 2018, before being beaten twice by the ‘Gypsy King’ in 2020 and 2021 respectively.

But having felt the wrath of the Briton who captured his WBC world heavyweight crown, Wilder is not convinced he will beat Joshua.

Mike Tyson has taken a swipe at Deontay Wilder for negative comments made about his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is one of many big names in the sport of boxing to take issue with the November bout at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. However, Wilder’s criticism appears to have genuinely bothered Tyson.

In comments made earlier this year, the 38-year-old claimed the heavyweight legend could “end up in a coma” as a result of taking a fight with a man 31 years his junior, while questioning whether anyone around Tyson “gave a f***” about him. Wilder reasoned: “I don’t think anyone cares about Mike, because if they did, they wouldn’t sanction the fight.

“They may say they’ve done tests and all that, okay, but as long as you’re willing to suffer the consequences if something bad goes wrong.” When Wilder’s words were put to Tyson in a recent interview with Esquire, the New York-born veteran launched an explosive rant in the direction of the former WBC Heavyweight Champion.
