Bob Arum suggested in an interview with Sky Sports that a fight between Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) at the London Stadium this year could be arranged.

"If Tyson beats Usik [on May 18] and then wins a rematch with him, we could have a great fight with Joshua at Wembley," said the co-promoter of "The Gypsy King." - It would be the highlight of his career!"

"There's always the chance that when big funds like the money from Saudi Arabia comes in, it could have an impact on boxers and maybe if Fury wins the first fight with Usik, it would be profitable for Usik to take a payoff for not demanding a rematch and allowing such a fight to take place. Joshua - Fury could take place as early as this year," Bob Arum added.

Anthony Joshua plans to return to action in September. It's worth noting that Turki Alalshih is tentatively planning his first night of boxing at a British stadium at that time. And whether AJ will fight the winner of the Dubois-Hrgovic or Fury-Usik fight in the fall only time will tell.
