The world of heavyweight boxing is no stranger to drama, but this latest development takes the cake. Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi Arabian minister with deep pockets and a passion for sports, has teamed up with Anthony Joshua to corner Tyson Fury. Their goal is to push the ‘Gypsy King’ into finalizing a long-awaited fight.
Alalshikh, playing the role of mediator extraordinaire, kicks things off. He urged Fury to “get the job done” against Oleksandr Usyk. It’s a not-so-subtle hint that bigger things await. But Joshua chimed in with a zinger. He reminded Fury that beating Usyk wasn’t a prerequisite for their showdown.
“Either way, he waiting for you. In the first or second quarter of [20]25, okay? AJ waiting for you, and the world waiting for you,” said Alalshikh via X.
This isn’t just about two boxers itching for a fight. It’s about legacy, pride, and a boatload of cash. Joshua has his eyes on those belts, dreaming of redemption against Usyk. Fury, on the other hand, will look to cement his name again in the annals of the boxing history.
Let’s not forget fans have been here before. Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury has been the boxing world’s “will they, won’t they” for years. Alalshikh’s involvement adds a new twist to this old tale. He’s got the funds and the influence to make things happen. But even he can’t force these two Titans into the ring if they’re not ready.

‘AJ‘ recently opened up about a pivotal moment in his career. It was a simple conversation with CR7 that changed everything. The two sports stars had crossed paths in Saudi Arabia earlier this year. Joshua had just triumphed over Francis Ngannou in a highly-anticipated bout. Ronaldo, ever the supporter of fellow athletes, was there to witness the spectacle.
“It was about the health regime he follows to maintain his health, and he gave me some advice. To be fair, I slept for 7 hours after following some of his advice (laughs),” said Joshua.
Ronaldo is known for his rigorous training regimen. He spilled the beans on his diet, his sleep schedule, and his overall approach to fitness. Joshua, being the smart cookie he is, took those words to heart, and now, he feels like he is better for it.
