Fury, known for his unorthodox style and outspoken personality, has held multiple world heavyweight titles, while Joshua, an Olympic gold medalist, has also claimed world championships.
Their long-awaited all-British heavyweight bout has been a subject of intense speculation and negotiation for years.
The two fighters have conflicting interests over the terms and timing of their potential matchup.
Fury has publicly criticized Joshua, calling him a 'coward' and claiming the fight 'doesn't look like it's going to happen,' while Joshua's camp, led by promoter Eddie Hearn, has stated that negotiations to stage the fight at Wembley Stadium have reopened.
The disagreement centers on the date and venue, with Fury suggesting the bout is off and calling for a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk instead, while Joshua's team has not yet responded publicly to these latest remarks.
The stakes are high for both fighters and the sport of boxing, as a clash between Fury and Joshua would be one of the biggest events in British boxing history, potentially taking place at Wembley Stadium in London.
The ongoing uncertainty has left fans and analysts waiting to see whether the fight will be finalized or fall through.
