Only defeat or injury can stop Joshua-Fury clash — Hearn

Eddie Hearn, promoter of Anthony Joshua, has refuted Tyson Fury's doubts about their highly anticipated boxing match, stating that the only obstacles to the 'Battle of Britain' in November would be a defeat or injury for either fighter this weekend. Both fighters are preparing for crucial preliminary bouts: Fury faces Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, while Joshua takes on Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Fury recently suggested he might fight someone else later in the year, but Hearn argues Joshua has a stronger track record of fulfilling commitments. Meanwhile, Joshua is still grappling with the emotional impact of losing two close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele, in a car accident in Nigeria last December. This upcoming fight marks Joshua's return to competition after his loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.

Joshua sets targets for Fury ahead of return

British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has started training for his upcoming fight against Tyson Fury by using a custom-made heavy bag modeled after Fury. Both fighters are preparing for separate preliminary bouts this weekend, with Joshua facing Kristian Prenga in Jeddah and Fury taking on Mariusz Wach in Thailand. Joshua's first boxing coach, Sean Murphy, revealed the special bag was designed to mimic Fury's physique for training purposes. Joshua, who recently recovered from a car accident that killed two friends, aims to dedicate a potential win over Prenga to his late friends before targeting Fury. His recent victory over Jake Paul highlights his continued presence in high-profile fights.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on a sports event involving professional boxing and does not address politically charged topics such as government policies, elections, or social issues. Therefore, it is considered apolitical and leans toward the center.
