Fury says Joshua fight cancelled, eyes Usyk rematch and new November opponent
Tyson Fury claims the scheduled November 20 heavyweight clash with Anthony Joshua has fallen through and is now targeting a trilogy bout with Oleksandr Usyk, while naming possible replacements for the date.
Fury announced that negotiations with Joshua collapsed, citing the rival’s alleged withdrawal. He has shifted focus to a third fight with Usyk, after two points losses in 2024. Promoters remain split over staging the bout in the UK or at Madison Square Garden. Fury insists he will still fight on November 20, listing Agit Kabayel, Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois as alternatives. Both fighters recently completed warm-up wins in July, with Fury stopping Mariusz Wach in Thailand and Joshua beating Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
Why it matters
The cancellation reshapes the heavyweight boxing calendar and affects fans, broadcasters and betting markets.
