How Tyson Fury's popular Netflix reality show can be unlikely key to finally securing Anthony Joshua fight
Another huge fight is also headed to Netflix NET WORTH How Tyson Fury's popular Netflix reality show can be unlikely key to finally securing Anthony Joshua fight TYSON FURY'S popular Netflix reality show could be the unlikely key to securing a fight with Anthony Joshua. The father-of-seven and childhood sweetheart wife Paris starred in a nine-part fly-on-the-wall series called At Home with the Furys. Advertisement 4 At Home with the Furys aired on Netflix Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 4 Anthony Joshua remains linked with fighting Fury Credit: Getty It culminated in Fury's December 2022 victory over Derek Chisora - but much has happened since then. Fury faced ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in October 2023 - surviving a knockdown to win a controversial split-decision. He then twice lost to Oleksandr Usyk on points before announcing his retirement in January, a month after defeat in the rematch. Fury was spotted filming with Netflix in March, meaning the next series could document his two losses to Usyk and subsequent retirement. Advertisement READ MORE IN BOXING CARL-ING IT NOW Carl Froch makes emphatic prediction for Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight The Gypsy King also looks set to walk away from a huge Battle of Britain bout against Joshua. But, Fury has started to tease a comeback with glimpses of his return to training while the success of his series could factor into his decision to fight again. Netflix bosses will be keen to centre a series around Fury's preparation for what would be the nation's biggest-ever fight. And with the streaming service now in the boxing business - they could even make a play to broadcast the mega-bout. Advertisement 4 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul had 100 MILLION watch his fight in November with Mike Tyson - who controversially made a return aged 58. The stream crashed amid the demand and Netflix also home to Katie Taylor's July 11 trilogy against Amanda Serrano. Advertisement Eddie Hearn teases Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury in 2025?! + Allen KOs Fisher | Split Decision | Sun Sport Joshua, 35, and Fury, 36, are both exclusive to DAZN per the deals their promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren signed. But DAZN gave permission for Irish star Taylor, 38, to rematch and beat Serrano, 36, on Paul's undercard. It would take quite some convincing for DAZN to allow a similar pass for AJ and Fury but the streaming giants are making an aggressive push in live sports. They have exclusive UK rights to the WWE and Monday Night Raw in America while also pushing to take over UFC coverage from ESPN. Advertisement In March, Chris Mannix reported that Netflix were "aggressively" targeting the rights for Joshua vs Fury. Another was Canelo Alvarez's September undisputed fight against unbeaten American Terence Crawford. Netflix were on board for the super-fight, planned for the Las Vegas Raiders' 65,000-seat, £1.5BILLION stadium with UFC boss Dana Whiyte to promote. But Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh has since revealed the fight is set for September 13 - the date of UFC 320. Advertisement And Alalshikh said it will be on pay-per-view with Riyadh Season - who have an exclusive deal with DAZN. It suggests White and Netflix are now out of the fight.

Military intelligence exhibition for Blitz tunnels
The history of military intelligence will be explored as part of a planned tourist attraction in London's World War Two air raid shelter tunnels. As part of its plans to bring the Kingsway Exchange Tunnels to the public, London Tunnels will collaborate with the Museum of Military Intelligence to showcase original artefacts, equipment, weapons and documents. About 8,000 sq m of tunnels under High Holborn were built in 1942 to provide protection during the Blitz. They were later used as a home for a British spy organisation. Angus Murray, CEO, The London Tunnels, said the site was an ideal backdrop to tell the remarkable stories of men and women who played a "vital role in protecting Britain". The tunnels, which featured in the first James Bond novel, have remained unused since they were decommissioned in 1990. The exhibition will feature stories from the Battle of Britain and D-Day, the espionage operations of the Cold War, the Falklands War, peace-keeping missions and the terrorist threat of the 21st Century. General Sir Jim Hockenhull KBE ADC Gen, Commander of Strategic Command and Colonel Commandant of the Intelligence Corps, said it would be "the world's most authoritative permanent exhibition of military intelligence". The trustees of the Museum of Military Intelligence said the "historically significant and evocative location" would bring the exhibition to life. The Museum of Military Intelligence was founded by the British Army's Intelligence Corps and is now also supported by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
