Former WBA super-middleweight world champion George Groves has reignited anticipation around one of boxing’s most sought-after matchups, stating that a blockbuster bout between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is either already signed or on the verge of completion.
Speaking in a recent interview, Groves disclosed that he believes both fighters are set to face each other next without taking on any interim opponents.
“If I was either guy, I’d just fight each other and that’s it,” said Groves. “There’s no need for any more risks. Just get the fight done now, while both are still in top shape.”
Rumors have circulated for months regarding a possible all-British heavyweight showdown, and Groves’ comments have added fuel to growing speculation. According to industry insiders, both camps have held advanced talks and a deal appears imminent, with a potential venue such as Wembley Stadium or a Middle Eastern location being considered.
Groves emphasized that the fighters’ age and recent performances make this the right moment for the clash. Both Fury and Joshua are coming off notable defeats, Fury losing to Oleksandr Usyk and Joshua suffering a knockout against Daniel Dubois, yet both remain global stars with massive drawing power.
While official confirmation is still pending, Groves’ statement suggests an agreement could be announced soon, likely setting the stage for one of the most high-profile bouts in modern boxing history.
