British fight fans might finally be getting the heavyweight showdown they’ve been dreaming about for a decade. Saudi powerbroker Turki Alalshikh has hinted that a blockbuster clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury is being lined up for London in September 2026, calling it “one of the greatest fights in the history of boxing.” Speaking on the DAZN broadcast before Conor Benn’s win over Chris Eubank Jr. on Saturday night, Alalshikh laid out a rough roadmap for a massive year of events in the UK.
“I am talking now with Eddie, we have next year two big events here in London, it will be a surprise,” Alalshikh said.
