Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will still collide in the heavyweight division’s most in-demand fight “because the people want it”, said Top Rank president Todd DuBoef.
WBC champion Fury is in talks for a defence against Dillian Whyte, while Joshua is set to rematch Oleksandr Usyk in an attempt to regain the IBF, WBA and WBO belts in 2022.
Negotiations for the British rivals to meet in an undisputed world title clash dramatically fell apart this year, but Fury’s US promotional team still believe there is huge public demand for the fight.
