Fury vs Joshua fight conditional on Joshua's July bout outcome
Promoter Frank Warren says the long-awaited showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will not happen if Joshua loses his July warm-up bout.

The highly anticipated bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua remains contingent on Joshua winning his July warm-up fight, according to promoter Frank Warren.

Watch the highlights:

Warren, who promotes Fury, has stated clearly that Joshua must emerge victorious from his scheduled July bout for the mega-fight to materialize. The two British boxing stars have been linked for years, but various negotiations have failed to produce an agreement.

The proposed fight would represent one of the biggest domestic boxing events in recent memory, pitting two heavyweight champions against each other. However, Warren's comments suggest the window for the bout may close if Joshua suffers a defeat in his preparation fight.

Joshua has been rebuilding his career following recent setbacks and requires a successful performance in July to remain in position for the potential Fury showdown. Warren's conditional stance indicates the promotional team is treating the fight as a time-sensitive opportunity, with other potential matchups likely available if the conditions are not met.
