How did the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua matchup come into being?

Tyson Fury is undefeated in his professional boxing career with a record of 30-0 and has become a two-time world heavyweight champion since beating knockout artist Deontay Wilder in 2020. His potential opponent Anthony Joshua is a WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion, and is widely regarded as one of the best boxers of the modern era.

Joshua is 24-1 in his professional career and recently avenged the solitary loss in his career which came against Andy Ruiz Jr. Naturally, with both men at the peak of their boxing careers, speculation of a super fight between the pair grew after Tyson Fury dominated Wilder in their rematch. Both Fury and Joshua showed interest in the potential clash and here we are.

While neither Joshua nor his manager Eddie Hearn have officially confirmed that the fight is on, it does seem like it may come to fruition after all. If it does, it will definitely be a spectacle.
