I’ve Plenty Of Options If Joshua Is Not Ready To Fight Me –Fury
Retold by Oddsrama · 1 September 2026
Tyson Fury is not waiting around for Anthony Joshua to make up his mind. The former world heavyweight champion has made it clear that if the long-mooted November showdown doesn't materialize—due to ongoing disputes over money and venue—he's got a backup plan. Negotiations with Joshua and promoter Eddie Hearn have hit snags, and Fury is already eyeing alternative opponents to step into the ring.
In his remarks, Fury stressed that he's keeping himself sharp and ready, but he's also realistic about the business side. He reckons he's the main draw in the heavyweight conversation right now, and plenty of other champions would jump at a payday against him if Joshua bails. For those other fighters, a fight with Fury means serious coin, even if it costs them a belt in the process. From a betting angle, this uncertainty could shift the odds depending on who ultimately gets the nod—a Joshua bout carries different weight than a clash with an alternative contender.
Fury also underlined his commitment to honouring any contract he signs, meaning if a November date is locked in, he'll show up. But if Joshua's camp can't get the deal done by then, Fury won't sit idle. He's effectively telling everyone that the clock is ticking: sort it out, or watch him move on. For punters tracking heavyweight action, keep an eye on announcement timelines—this could flip the script on betting markets pretty quickly if a different opponent suddenly enters the frame.
