TYSON FURY’S heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua is still the “biggest fight in the world”.
And the long-awaited Battle of Britain could still happen this year, according to Top Rank chief Todd DuBoef.
Anthony Joshua missed out on his Tyson Fury fight
The Gypsy King has failed to negotiate fights with either AJ or Oleksandr Usyk
Fury and AJ were in talks to settle their score in a mammoth clash at the end of last year – but a deal collapsed and appeared off the table for good.
However, DuBoef – whose Top Rank company oversee Fury’s US promotions – reckons boxing fans could get the one fight they want to see.
DuBoef told Sky Sports: “I’ve always said that that is the fight.
“Both of them have great brands, huge fanbases, and fortunately both of them come from the UK, so it’s wonderful that your country has been able to produce these incredible prizefighters.
“That fight is always there, and, to me, is the biggest heavyweight match in the world, because of the personalities and the stories.”
When the Fury talks broke down, Joshua planned to make his return to the ring against Jermaine Franklin.
He faces the American at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday desperately hoping to return to winning ways after back-to-back losses to Olesksandr Usyk.
Fury looked on course to face Usyk in a unification bout with all the heavyweight world titles on the line – but again the Gypysy King failed to successfully negotiate.

But DuBoef incredibly claimed it is still possible for his man to face Usyk and Joshua this year.
He added: “All of us are frustrated.
“And I think timing has been an issue with trying to make this [Usyk] fight happen. I’m not going to say never, but I think we all want to see this unification, and we all have hope.
“Both fighters really know that this is what the sport wants, and what they want.
“We move with immediacy, and we move trying to figure out and get rationality to a situation.
“I think we’ve always wanted this fight for Fury and Joshua, and we’ve wanted to see Fury and Usyk, and Tyson has wanted that, and the Warrens, and we’ve worked hard in getting this done.
“I would love to see, and you’ve just laid out a great 2023 for the Fury side, if we could do Usyk and Joshua this year, it would be fantastic.”
