Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting up to May 2026.

• Tyson Fury has publicly targeted a heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua after Fury’s return to the ring, with plans discussed in early 2026. Joshua’s own comeback status has been unclear, with promoters indicating talks were not finalized at that time.[1][2]

• In spring 2026, multiple outlets suggested negotiations were moving toward a late-2026 clash, with potential tune-up fights for Joshua and a preparatory bout for Fury. The expectation was that the mega-fight would be staged later in the year, possibly streamed by Netflix per some reports.[3][5]

• There were also sources noting Joshua was aiming to rebuild his career with a shorter-term plan before facing Fury, while Fury was publicly eyeing a major event to reestablish himself at the summit of the division.[6][3]

• By mid-April 2026, several outlets described continued momentum toward an all-British showdown, though exact dates and venues were still under discussion, with some reports pointing to November 2026 as a target window.[4][5]

• Coverage from Sky Sports and other outlets around April–May 2026 emphasized ongoing negotiations and the sense that a Fury-Joshua fight was closer than at any point in years, but formal confirmation, contracts, and concrete details remained pending.[5][8]

If you’d like, I can:

• pull the most recent articles from today to confirm any late changes,
• summarize the key sticking points in the negotiations (date, venue, PPV/streaming plans, and number of fights for each fighter), or
• look for official statements from their camps to cite the latest status.

Would you like me to focus on a specific aspect (timing, venue, streaming plans) or provide a quick, sourced timeline?
