Tyson Fury's highly anticipated bout with Anthony Joshua is now uncertain following Joshua's stunning knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois on Saturday night, marking one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history.
Whilst fans have been eager for Fury and Joshua to do battle for years, there is now a sense that it simply will never happen.
Many tried to paint AJ's bout with Dubois as the battle of British boxing in front of 96,000 people at Wembley Stadium, but the reality is that it was nothing like if Fury and Joshua had been able to fight in their respective primes.
Joshua and Fury will now leave a lot of money on the table
Leading up to the match, Joshua was reportedly close to finalizing a massive 500-million-pound two-fight deal with Fury, contingent on his victory over Dubois at Wembley.
The IBF world heavyweight title was on the line, and a win would have solidified Joshua's status as one of British boxing's premier stars, aiming to become a three-time heavyweight world champion.
It could also have set the table for another unification bout, provided Fury was able to win his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, which is due to take place in December at a Saudi-promoted event.
Following Joshua's knockout, Fury was spotted at ringside, visibly upset and reportedly shouting about the money he will now lose.
"That cost me $150 million," Fury exclaimed.
His reaction underscores the financial implications of Joshua's defeat, which diminishes the appeal of a potential clash between the two heavyweights.
As fans and analysts process this unexpected turn of events, both fighters face uncertain futures. Joshua will need to reassess his next steps, while Fury may look for alternative opponents to fill the gap left by this missed opportunity.
