But first the pair must get through their respective warm-up fights, with Fury first up against Mariusz Wach on July 24<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then a day later, Joshua will take on Kristian Prenga<\/a> in Saudi Arabia with victories for both to set up the clash.<\/p>\n At Fury’s previous tune-up against Arslanbek Makhmudov in April, Joshua sat ringside.<\/p>\n But despite getting into a verbal altercation, Joshua decided not to step in the ring<\/a> and hold a face-off with his long-term foe.<\/p>\n Read More In Boxing<\/p>\n Although now AJ insists he is ready to do exactly that, and has invited the Morecambe native to his clash.<\/p>\n He told DAZN: \u201cIf he wants to come in the ring when I win July 25th, feel welcome. Come into my territory. <\/p>\n “I\u2019m the landlord. I\u2019m going to welcome you into my home. You don\u2019t welcome me into your home.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been in that position before where I\u2019ve signed contracts with Fury. <\/p>\n “So, I didn\u2019t play into the games. I\u2019m not there for games. If the contract was signed, I would have got in the ring.<\/p>\n “I was there on a scouting mission. I want to see what my future opponents are going to look like. I saw a lot. <\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n Joshua has his eyes fixed firmly on Fury and will begin preparations providing he beats Prenga<\/p>\n “I saw some good. I saw some vulnerabilities in there.\u201d<\/p>\n When and where could Joshua vs Fury take place?<\/p>\n For now, the arrangements are yet to be officialised, but the pair have agreed and signed their respective deals.<\/p>\n Most fans would prefer the event take place on British shores, given it is one of the most iconic rivalries of the 21st century.<\/p>\n There is significant interest in staging the event in the US though, given streaming service Netflix will broadcast the event and want to reach global audiences.<\/p>\n Suggestions are that the bout would be preferred to take place in the UK, with Wembley Stadium the front runner.<\/p>\n But Saudi chief Turki Alalshikh has suggested a start time of 2am<\/a>, which would provide several logistical issues.<\/p>\n Read More on talkSPORT<\/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\/07\/DK-TS-OP-FURY-AJ.jpg\")
