October 1 - Respect, laughter and tummy tickling

Both Fury and AJ in full fight mode after first news conference goes ahead with respect and laughter

The all-British heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua moved a step closer after both fighters turned up for Wednesday's new conference in London, which bizarrely ended with Joshua tickling Fury's stomach.

After contracts were signed and a fight date, venue and TV details made official last Thursday, it emerged over the weekend that the fight could be in doubt because of the involvement of Dana White.

But there was no suggestion of the fight not going ahead during Wednesday's news conference with both men showing huge respect for each other, sharing laughter and even talking about going for a pint together, before declaring that they are in full fight mode and expecting to clash in the early hours of Saturday 12 December.

The official date for the fight is Friday 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, but because host broadcaster Netflix want to cater for American fight fans, the ring walk is not expected to take place until around 2am Saturday.

In the Match Odds market Fury is the 8/151.53 favourite on the Betfair Sportsbook to win, with Joshua 8/52.60 and the Draw available to back at 20/121.00.


September 27 - Fight in doubt says Fury

Fury says fight has only a one per cent chance of going ahead but Betfair Exchange punters disagree

December's all-British heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is odds-on at 1.331/3 to go ahead according to the Betfair Exchange, this despite Fury himself saying the fight has only a one per cent chance of going ahead.

Fury was casting doubt specifically about the fight scheduled for Friday 11 December at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, and does believe that the two fighters will clash at some point as contracts have been signed.

The main stumbling block to the fight going ahead appears to be the involvement of UFC president Dana White, with Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn saying that AJ's contract specifically prevented White and American sports entertainment company TKO from having a promotional role.

And Fury believes that Joshua is using this as an excuse to pull out of the fight.

Should the December superfight go ahead then Fury is the 8/151.53 favourite on the Betfair Sportsbook to win, with Joshua 8/52.60 and the Draw available to back at 20/121.00.

The Betfair Sportsbook has a wide range of markets available for the fight, including OddsBoosts, Method of Victory, Round Betting, Knockdown markets and much more. You can find all markets here.


September 24 - Fight confirmed, Fury favourite

Fury odds-on to beat Joshua as fight finally confirmed

Tyson Fury is 8/151.53 favourite on the Betfair Sportsbook to beat Anthony Joshua in the much-anticipaed, all-British heavyweight clash after the fight was confirmed for Friday 11 December at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

The long-awaited fight, which has been an on-off saga for almost 10 years, will be broadcast live on American-owned streaming channel Netflix.

Although the fight's official date is Friday 11 December, it is expected that the ringwalks won't take place until the early hours of Saturday in the UK, a schedule that will cater for viewers in the USA.

Joshua is the 8/52.60 underdog on the Betfair Sportsbook, with the Draw priced up at 20/121.00.

Inspiring a generation, says AJ

Although the usually vocal Fury is yet to comment on the fight announcement, Joshua took to Instagram to say that he is "inspiring a generation".

The two fighters, both two-time world champions, are expected to come face-to-face for the first time since the fight was announced next Wednesday at a news conference in London.

Although the two fighters have never publicly declared hatred for each other, there have often been spats and squabbles between the pair on social media, often blaming each other for backing out of previous proposed fights, which should make for fantastic entertainment in the weeks building up to December's clash.
