Promoter reveals surprising venue and date for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua
Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua Set for Dublin Showdown
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have reportedly agreed to finally meet in the ring this autumn—but in a surprising twist, organizers have chosen Dublin instead of the UK as the host city.
Both former heavyweight champions remain major figures in boxing despite accumulating six losses between them. They came close to fighting multiple times, most notably in 2021 when they held all the major belts, and fans have continued to demand the matchup ever since.

Why Dublin? A Surprising Venue Choice
Fury’s strong Irish connections—through his heritage and amateur boxing career—make Dublin a meaningful location for him. Still, promoters rarely stage major pay-per-view boxing events there, and many expected a blockbuster fight of this magnitude to take place in London or Manchester.
By choosing Dublin, organizers may have found neutral ground that satisfies both camps. However, fans continue to hope that promoters might still reconsider the venue before final confirmation.
Promoter Confirms Fight Plans
During a press conference ahead of Derek Chisora vs Deontay Wilder, veteran promoter Kalle Sauerland revealed key details about the long-anticipated fight.
Speaking to IFL TV, Sauerland stated that organizers have already finalized the deal, including the date and venue.
He also highlighted the stakes for Chisora and Wilder, noting that the winner could face Oleksandr Usyk next.
Sauerland later confirmed that Fury vs Joshua is “done” for autumn in Dublin—a claim reporter Joe Pugh reinforced, suggesting a September or October timeline.
Potential Mega Event in Ireland
The Dublin event could grow into a historic boxing spectacle. Katie Taylor may also fight on the card as she eyes a career finale at Croke Park, a venue capable of hosting over 82,000 fans.
Promoter Frank Warren has also teased additional major fights, including one involving Pierce O’Leary. He even hinted at a rare collaboration with Matchroom Boxing and Eddie Hearn, which could elevate the event into one of Europe’s biggest boxing nights.
What This Means for Fans
If confirmed, Fury vs Joshua in Dublin would mark one of the most significant heavyweight clashes in recent years—both for its long-awaited nature and its unexpected location.
While the venue choice has divided opinion, the fight itself remains one of the most anticipated matchups in modern boxing.
