Warren Backs November Showdown for Fury-Joshua Blockbuster

​LONDON — Promoter Frank Warren expects the long-awaited heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to happen this November, though final details remain under wraps.

​Initial plans favored a homecoming bout at Wembley Stadium, but complications over scheduling start times for a lucrative global audience have heavily tilted momentum toward a United States venue, with New York’s Madison Square Garden emerging as the frontrunner for a targeted November 20 date.

​However, venue logistics continue to see friction. While organizers and Netflix have explored a major US spectacle, Joshua’s camp—led by promoter Eddie Hearn—maintains that a strict UK-venue clause was inserted into their contractual agreement, setting up a potential tug-of-war over location.

​Warren noted that the ultimate authority on timing and venue rests with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, who will formally make the announcement.

​Despite debates surrounding location and recent warm-up performances, Warren insists there is no reason for a delay into 2027. Both fighters will enter full training camps by early September, setting the stage for an explosive encounter between two of Britain’s most iconic modern heavyweights.
