Fury and Joshua are highly regarded as two of the greatest British fighters of all time and the best heavyweights of this generation. Joshua is a former IBF, IBO, and WBO Heavyweight Champion and is 6-1 in his previous seven contests. Over the last nine months, Joshua has scored two knockouts against Jake Paul and Kristian Prenga. AJ enters this fight with a 30-4 record with 27 wins by knockout. 

Fury, 38, is 36-2-1 with 25 knockouts and has held the WBC, WBO, IBF, and IBO Heavyweight titles. After he suffered his second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, Fury retired. But 16 months later, Fury returned to the sport and has since won two consecutive fights against Arslanbek Makhmudov and Mariusz Wach. 

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Fury is a -200 favorite with Joshua being a +155 underdog. This fight has an over/under of 9.5 rounds, with the under at -125 and the over at -110. Fury is +125 to win by knockout, with Joshua being +240 to win by KO/TKO/DQ.
