Fury-Joshua fight could be postponed to 2027 or held in New York

The fight between Fury and Joshua may be postponed to 2027 or take place in New York

The expected fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the super heavyweight category of professional boxing is likely to be held in November 2026 at the Madison Square Garden arena in New York. This was reported by The Telegraph.

According to the source, the arena in New York is currently considered the main option. Initially, the fight was planned to be held at London's Wembley Stadium, but preparing an open arena in the fall will be difficult. If the parties still choose the London arena, the fight may be moved to the spring of 2027 to ensure warm weather conditions.

It is noted that in the event of a change in the date, Fury and Joshua will have to fight one more time, which poses certain risks.

The interest of the American audience in holding the fight at Madison Square Garden is also in doubt. Despite the support of Netflix, organizers are concerned that the clash between British boxers will attract little interest in the United States.

It was previously reported that former world super heavyweight champions Tyson Fury (35-2-1) and Anthony Joshua (29-4) will clash in the fourth quarter of 2026. Fury also said that he would retire if the fight with Joshua does not take place.
