The pair finally look set to meet in a blockbuster clash having signed to face each other after respective warm-up fights in the final quarter of 2026 on Netflix.<\/p>\n
As most predicted, the verbal barbs have already begun.<\/p>\n
Fury made the latest move as he took aim at Joshua<\/a> after Dubois’ victory over Fabio Wardley<\/a>, who managed to stay on his feet.<\/p>\n The Morecambe native pointed out that Dubois floored AJ multiple times during his stunning 2024 defeat.<\/p>\n Read More In Boxing<\/p>\n But now Joshua has clapped back at Fury, suggesting his rival is more focused on him than his own business.<\/p>\n He told reporters: “I just felt like, as a boss, you can\u2019t ride the next man\u2019s success. It\u2019s Dubois\u2019s success. <\/p>\n “How are you sitting there thinking that, because Dubois had success, \u2018Yeah, that\u2019s what part of what I\u2019m doing\u2019?<\/p>\n \u201cIt shows the type of mentality that he has. That\u2019s not a boss; a boss is gonna create his own lane and talk about what he\u2019s done and what he\u2019s achieved.<\/p>\n \u201cWe could all talk about what [Francis] Ngannou done to him, we can talk about what Usyk done to him, we can talk about loads of comparisons. <\/p>\n “But for him to talk about Dubois\u2019 success and use it as his own, shows me that he\u2019s a d**k-rider.\u201d<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Fury is supremely confident of beating Joshua himselfCredit: GettyJoshua ready to move forward to Fury<\/p>\n Although the warfare over social media has already begun, it will be a wait before he can lay his gloves on Fury.<\/p>\n Joshua will be the first to return to the ring in a tune-up fight against unknown entity Kristian Prenga.<\/a><\/p>\n He is expected to taste victory before turning attention to Fury.<\/p>\n And in an update provided to talkSPORT, Joshua insists he is ready for a big 2026 after personal turmoil.<\/p>\n He said: “Bring on Prenga, and Fury as well.<\/p>\n “I’ve happily signed the contract, I saw it was a two-fight deal and it was presented with the Fury fight.<\/p>\n Watch Boxing on DAZN<\/p>\n *If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenue<\/p>\n Sign up to DAZN<\/a> to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.<\/p>\n Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate<\/a> from just \u00a324.99\/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.<\/p>\n Alternatively, DAZN Standard<\/a> is just \u00a315.99\/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.<\/p>\n![\"Tyson](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/tyson-fury-points-netflix-logo-1079614779.jpg\"){kind=logo}
