- Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed Anthony Joshua will target a July warm-up bout before facing Tyson Fury in November, with negotiations for the two-fight deal ongoing.
- Following Fury's victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov on Saturday, Netflix announced the bout's agreement on social media, though Hearn insists the broadcaster "jumped the gun."
- Joshua requires a tune-up after competing only once in 19 months; a December car crash in Nigeria killed two friends, and the 36-year-old is conditioning in Ukraine with champion Oleksandr Usyk.
