TYSON FURY and Anthony Joshua are on course to finally cross gloves, according to reports.
According to Ring Magazine, the highly anticipated heavyweight clash will see them headline a 2026 Riyadh Season mega-event.
However, the report also indicates both the Gypsy King and AJ will also see action in separate fights as part of Riyadh Season.
Fury last stepped in the ring in December 2024 when he suffered a unanimous decision defeat against Oleksandr Usyk.
Meanwhile, Joshua’s last fight came against Daniel Dubois in September 2024 but he will be in action against Jake Paul next Saturday.
A battle between the two former world champions has been years in the making.
Fans were desperate to see the pair fight at the peak of their powers of their respective careers.
And while many will feel this All-British contest is happening later than it should have, it should still make for a huge spectacle.
A fight between the pair looked set to happen at the start of 2025 before Fury announced his dramatic retirement.
With both heavy-hitters set to be in action before they face off, convincing wins might be needed to truly whet the appetite.

Both Fury and AJ saw their title belts snatched away in back-to-back defeats to Usyk.
AJ was the first to be beaten by the Ukrainian in 2021 and 2022, with Fury losing back-to-back clashes in 2024.
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – all the info
A true Christmas miracle!
The world will stand still come December 19 as the face of British boxing Anthony Joshua is all set to go up against social media sensation Jake Paul.
AJ steps in on a month’s notice after Paul’s ‘David vs Goliath’ Gervonta Davis clash was axed due to Tank’s civil suit case.
And Joshua will be desperate not to suffer the same fate as legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr who both lost to YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul.
Particularly as a handsome figure was negotiated to get this Judgement Day deal over the line due to AJ’s DAZN contract.
