Don’t Call It a Comeback
Fury (35-2-1), who is regarded as one of the sport’s all-time great heavyweights, returned from his latest retirement to take a clear-cut unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11. He owns victories over the likes of Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora, among others.
Joshua (29-4) was last seen facing YouTube personality turned boxer Jake Paul this past December, a matchup he won via sixth-round knockout. That was the Brit’s first fight since falling to Daniel Dubois via fifth-round stoppage in an IBF title tilt in September 2024. Joshua was involved in a car accident in Nigeria this past December that resulted in the death of coaches Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.
