The broadcaster revived an earlier exchange between the heavyweight rivals while advertising Joshua’s July 25 fight, fueling fresh speculation about a long-awaited showdown
DAZN has begun building interest in a potential Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight before either heavyweight has boxed his scheduled July comeback. The broadcaster revived a previous exchange between the rivals while promoting Joshua’s July 25 bout with Kristian Prenga.
Fury issued a direct challenge in the clip.
Fury: “I challenge you, Anthony Joshua, to fight me, ‘The Gypsy King’, NEXT!”
AJ: “I’m the boss. You work for me. I’m the landlord, remember that.”

Neither quote is new, but their reappearance comes as anticipation continues to build for a fight that has eluded boxing fans for years.
Before any agreement can become reality, both men have business to take care of. Fury is scheduled to face veteran Mariusz Wach on July 24, while Joshua meets unbeaten Albanian puncher Kristian Prenga the following night.
DAZN’s decision to recycle the exchange suggests the broadcaster is already looking beyond those contests and toward one of the biggest fights available in the heavyweight division. The social media post also included a link directing fans to purchase the Joshua-Prenga pay-per-view.
Joshua is expected to defeat Prenga and move one step closer to finally sharing the ring with Fury, but the unbeaten Albanian has made it clear he has no intention of playing the role of a tune-up opponent. Prenga, who owns a 20-1 record with 20 knockouts, has already vowed to derail the blockbuster plans by stopping the former two-time heavyweight champion.
