Peter Fury, uncle and former trainer of Tyson Fury, has offered a stark verdict on the long-anticipated Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua fight, telling the Fight Your Corner podcast he sees only two likely outcomes. Boxing News reports that an announcement has been hoped for since both fighters had summer 'warm-ups', but negotiations previously stalled amid a dispute over staging the bout in New York despite a UK contract for Joshua. Latest reporting points to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as the likely destination this December, though those arrangements — and scheduling to suit US viewers — remain unresolved.
Family verdict
Peter Fury: 'He could clean him out' — two outcomes only
Speaking on the Fight Your Corner podcast, in partnership with Midnite, Peter Fury set out what he sees as the only plausible outcomes if Fury and Joshua meet. "I haven’t really thought about it [Fury-Joshua] to be honest. He [Fury] is either going to outbox [him] and he will get to Joshua or Joshua is gonna find the target and he will clean him out. So, it is one or the other, isn’t it? So, we will see which one," Peter Fury said. He added that the result will come down to the tactical plans both camps bring into the ring. Those comments were reported by Boxing News.
Negotiations and venue
Talks stalled over New York plans; Cardiff now rumoured for December
Boxing News reports that formal confirmation of a Fury–Joshua fight was expected after both men completed July 'warm-ups', but negotiations broke down when organisers sought to stage the all-British clash in New York. That proposal conflicted with a contract Anthony Joshua had reportedly signed for a fight in the United Kingdom, prompting a stalemate. The latest rumours, as described by Boxing News, indicate the fight is back on the cards and is likely to be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff this December. The report also notes uncertainty over whether the main event would be scheduled in the early hours to suit Netflix's US audience.
Summer build-up
Both fighters completed July 'warm-ups', the report notes
Boxing News points out that expectations for a quick announcement intensified after both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua registered successful 'warm-up' outings in July — Fury against Mariusz Wach and Joshua against Kristian Prenga. Those fights were widely viewed as ring-readiness steps ahead of a potential Fury–Joshua meeting, and they prompted early hopes that an all-British blockbuster might be finalised soon. The report connects those warm-ups to the subsequent negotiation efforts and the venue dispute that followed.
What remains unresolved
Deal described as nearing finalisation but not confirmed
According to Boxing News, fans are still awaiting an official announcement and the outlet says a deal now appears to be nearing finalisation for what would be one of the biggest events on the 2026 calendar. The report, however, leaves open several key questions — notably whether a contract has been signed, the timing of any formal confirmation, and whether the bout would be scheduled to accommodate US streaming audiences. Boxing Ring News is reporting these developments as described by Boxing News and does not independently confirm the arrangements.
