British fight fans have longed to see Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury, and they may finally get their wish in 2026.
Turki Alalshikh teased that next September, he will bring Britain "one of the greatest fights in history." It's believed that the fight is Joshua vs. Fury.
"I am talking now with Eddie, we have next year two big events here in London, it will be a surprise," Alalshikh said on the DAZN broadcast before Conor Benn beat Chris Eubank Jr. on Saturday night.
"We will have Joshua in our country in February, then there is the big fight, one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing, it will be in London here maybe in September.
"I will not give you the answer but we will have in April [a fight] in Tottenham, big fights, then in September we will have a big surprise for the fans in England."
Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, hasn't fought since losing to Daniel Dubois by fifth-round KO in September. He is set to return to action against Jake Paul in December, as first revealed by The Ring.
Former Ring heavyweight champ Fury retired following his rematch defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, and now it will be up to Alalshikh to tempt the "Gypsy King" back into the ring.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed plans are in motion for a big 2026 for Joshua.
Hearn said: "Listen we have all got excited about that fight for many years, I believe this is the man to make it happen, everything we do with Anthony Joshua, we do with Turki Alalshikh, we have been sitting down this week, we have a lot of plans for Anthony Joshua's future, he wants to regain the world heavyweight championship, he wants to of course to fight Tyson Fury.
"Let the man do his work, I will keep quiet because I have got a big mouth and hopefully we can see the fight that everybody in here wants to see."
