Fury vs Joshua fight contingent on Joshua winning warm-up bout, says Warren

The proposed showdown between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will not happen if Joshua loses his July warm-up bout, according to promoter Frank Warren.

Watch the highlights:

Warren stated clearly that Joshua must win his upcoming fight in July for the much-anticipated British showdown to proceed. The promoter has been working on the potential heavyweight clash for some time.

"If Joshua loses that warm-up fight, there won't be a Fury fight," Warren explained. The statement sets up high stakes for Joshua's next opponent.

The proposed bout between Fury and Joshua would be one of the biggest domestic fights in British boxing history. Both fighters have separate schedules to manage before any potential agreement can be finalised.

Warren confirmed negotiations remain ongoing but stressed the July bout outcome will determine the path forward. The heavyweight division continues to evolve with several potential matchups under discussion.
