Netflix is slated to broadcast the card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Fury has held multiple world heavyweight championships, including the World Boxing Council (WBC) title for four years (2020-2024). He was a unified heavyweight champion from 2015 to 2016.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The 38-year-old from Manchester, England is 36-2-1 lifetime with 25 knockouts. He started his career with a 34-0-1 record but lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">However, Fury has since bounced back with a pair of victories over Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The 36-year-old Joshua was a unified heavyweight champion on two occasions. He is 30-4 lifetime with 27 knockouts and started his career with a 22-0 record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">Joshua endured a tough stretch that included a loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. and two defeats to Usyk. He won four fights in a row but fell to Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">However, Joshua has gotten back on the winning track, beating Jake Paul via sixth-round knockout and Kristian Penga via second-round KO.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The fight has been years in the making and appeared as if it would finally happen.  Alalshikh announced the following on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium mui-m06sf4\">The fight now appears to have hit an obstacle. As of now, it&#8217;s still on, but we&#8217;ll see if that remains the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The heavyweight fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua may be called off, per Mike Coppinger of The&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-910259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
