Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could fight at Croke Park in September, with talks under way to stage the long-awaited heavyweight bout in Dublin.
The event is being targeted for the 80,000-seat stadium – the iconic home of Gaelic games – but the bout depends on Fury winning his comeback fight on Saturday and Joshua not taking a warm-up this summer.
Fury takes on Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in London this weekend while Joshua has only just returned to training after he was injured in a car accident in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele.
Fury has not fought since December 2024 while Joshua’s last bout was against Jake Paul last December.
Should Joshua decide to take a warm-up fight before meeting Fury, the event will be targeted for the end of the year – potentially in the UK.
A super fight between the two Britons has long been mooted but talks have consistently broken down, mostly because of fight purse demands and broadcaster disputes.
