Tyson Fury thanks Dana White for getting Anthony Joshua fight ‘over the line’ despite no date or location

Fury publicly thanked UFC president Dana White for getting the fight “over the line,” even though the parties have still not disclosed a concrete date or venue. Eddie Hearn told The New York Times that talks have reopened and identified Wembley Stadium as a likely host, a point echoed by ESPN’s report that the “Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury Wembley fight talks [are] back on.” MMA Fighting and Yahoo Sports both highlighted Fury’s gratitude toward White for moving the negotiations forward.

Sky Sports added that Joshua’s former trainer weighed in on what could happen next in the bargaining process. Sky Sports noted that the former trainer’s comments focused on the next phases of the negotiation rather than confirming any deal. No official date or venue has been announced, and the exact terms of the bout remain unsettled.

While the renewed dialogue has been framed as a significant step forward, coverage indicates that final agreement is still pending, leaving the heavyweight calendar open for further updates. The absence of a set date keeps the fight among the most anticipated yet uncertain heavyweight matchups for 2026.
