Anthony Joshua’s next fight is a hot topic in the boxing world, with several possible opponents in the mix. After his recent setbacks, the former two-time heavyweight champion is looking to get back on track. But the biggest news is that Netflix is reportedly trying to make the long-awaited Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight happen.
Could this be the fight that finally brings these two British heavyweights together? Or will Joshua take a different path?
Anthony Joshua’s Recent Fights and Setbacks
Joshua has had a rollercoaster ride over the past year. He started strong in March 2024, knocking out former UFC champion Francis Ngannou in just two rounds. The dominant win put him back in the spotlight and had fans talking about a potential return to the top.
However, his next fight didn’t go as planned. In September 2024, Joshua suffered a devastating knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium. The defeat was a major setback, costing him a shot at reclaiming a world title. A rematch with Dubois has been discussed, but it’s unclear if or when it will happen.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, has also mentioned other potential opponents, including Deontay Wilder, Joseph Parker, and Agit Kabayel. But the biggest fight on the table might be against Tyson Fury.
Could Netflix Make Joshua vs. Fury a Reality?
A fight between Joshua and Fury has been years in the making. The two nearly squared off in 2021, but a legal ruling forced Fury to fight Deontay Wilder instead. Since then, both men have taken different paths—Fury went on to fight Usyk twice, losing both times, while Joshua struggled against Usyk before bouncing back with wins over Jermaine Franklin and Ngannou.
Now, with Fury announcing his retirement in January 2025, many thought the dream fight was dead. But Netflix is reportedly making a serious effort to bring Fury out of retirement for a showdown with Joshua.
If Fury stays retired, Joshua still has other big fights on the horizon. A rematch with Dubois remains an option, as does a long-anticipated clash with Deontay Wilder.
For now, Joshua is expected to return to the ring in mid-2025. Whether it’s against Fury, Dubois, or someone else, his next fight will be crucial in determining his future in the heavyweight division.
Will Netflix pull off a mega deal and finally give fans Joshua vs. Fury? Or will Joshua take a different route? Boxing fans are eagerly waiting for an answer.
