Boxing trainer Carl Froch says a key stipulation for the planned Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury bout is tied to both fighters winning their respective warm-up matches this week. According to the reports, Joshua and Fury are under contract to meet later this year, but the agreement is conditional: the fight takes place only if each man comes through their scheduled preparatory contests. The outlets describe the current week as a critical point for determining whether the later-year matchup proceeds as planned. Froch’s comments also focus on how specific conditions around the bout could affect promotion and audience interest, arguing that the arrangement would help sell the event. While the sources agree on the conditional nature of the contract, they do not provide detailed technical specifics of the stipulation beyond its linkage to the warm-up wins. Both reports present the upcoming bouts as decisive hurdles for Joshua and Fury and frame the later showdown as contingent on their performance this week.
