Anthony Joshua is to face Tyson Fury later this year after promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed a deal to stage the biggest fight in British boxing history has been signed.
Joshua will face Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on July 25th as a warm-up for his long-awaited showdown with Fury, which is expected to take place in November and be shown on Netflix.
“Signed, sealed, delivered! AJ v Fury is on!” Hearn said on Instagram.
“The biggest piece of business we’ve ever done but more importantly the one we’ve always wanted. Biggest year of AJ’s career coming up, the comeback is on.”
