Fury (35-2) scored a unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov in his last outing this past April. The win saw “The Gypsy King” return to action for the first time since 2024, rebounding from consecutive title losses against Oleksandr Usyk. Fury is in talks for a massive matchup against Joshua, with promoters clashing over rights for the bout. His upcoming fight against Wach is being considered a tune-up bout for a potential matchup against Joshua.
