Fury and Joshua will fight for the &#8216;Fight of Britain&#8217; title, which will be made of 100 percent gold.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4u\">Fury said he did not care about any belts when he called for the fight after his recent win over Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Fury enters the fight as a five-time world heavyweight champion, and Joshua brings nine world title wins to the table.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"53\">Fury and Joshua are both former heavyweight world champions, but neither currently has a belt for them to fight for. The matchup is already big enough on its own that it does not need one to sell tickets, even if it would have been a much bigger deal had it gone down when both reigned as British heavyweight champions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"56\">Yet, the fight is being billed as a battle for England, where both were born, raised, and currently reside.

Ring Magazine merely announced that both sides have signed their respective contracts for a fight that is tentatively scheduled for sometime at the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">Many expect the fight to headline Wembley Stadium, the biggest and most iconic venue in England. But with Ring Magazine and Turki Alalshikh&#8217;s involvement, the fight could also be in Saudi Arabia, where both have fought multiple times in their most recent outings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Before fighting Fury, Joshua first has a tune-up fight scheduled against Kristian Prenga on July 25. &#8216;AJ&#8217; has not fought since December 2025, when he dismantled Jake Paul on Netflix, but the biggest mental hurdle since then was his involvement in a deadly car crash the following month.
