Warren told Sky Sports that the team is working to close a match that is beneficial to Tyson Fury's sporting interests, ensuring that the selected opponent will be someone able to push him to the max.
The Road to Historic Combat
The main goal for Tyson Fury's team remains to finalize a duel against Anthony Joshua in November. However, there is a margin of risk, as both fighters must successfully overcome their previous commitments so that the national event can take place as planned on the calendar.
“Stay tuned,” Warren said of the upcoming announcement. The promoter added that his representative cannot afford any kind of mistake at this point of the year, especially considering the plans of his potential British rival for the coming weeks.
Scenarios for summer and autumn
While the boxing world awaits the official announcement, it has been ruled out that names like Jarrell Miller or Andy Ruiz Jr. are the ones chosen to face Tyson Fury in August. The athlete's environment focuses on a fight that serves as a strategic preparation before facing Joshua, who also has a fight scheduled for July 25.
"[Joshua] has to overcome that, Tyson has to overcome this, and then the big moment will be in November," Warren said when asked by Sky Sports about the established roadmap.
The coordination of these dates is essential to ensure that both athletes arrive in optimal conditions at the stellar event.
Boxing in the face of regulatory changes
Alongside this news, the boxing industry is going through moments of institutional transformation in the United States.
The recent approval in the House of Representatives of a new version of the Muhammad Ali Law seeks to profoundly modify the structure of remuneration and contracts, which, if ratified in the Senate, would change the rules of the game for promoters and athletes.
This administrative evolution is in addition to the expectation generated by the upcoming announcement of Tyson Fury's rival.
With the heavyweight landscape still on the move, fans expect this summer's card to finish defining the hierarchies needed to make the season finale one of the most competitive of the last decade.
