Fury retired in January but announced in July that he will come back to fight next year - with the hopes of a fight with Joshua. Frank Smith, CEO of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing, talked up a mega 2026 for AJ with bouts against Paul AND Fury possible. Smith said on talkSPORT: "2026 is going to be a huge year for Anthony Joshua.

"Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul on the global scale is bigger than Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. That is the world we live in right now. "The Tyson Fury fight is still a huge fight, and if he decides to come back from retirement, I'm sure that can also get made in 2026. "AJ has done everything in the sport, he still has a lot more to offer but in this business people get written off. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "I think you will see him in a great year next year in the biggest events possible. "From a commercial perspective he's in the driving seat, AJ delivers the biggest numbers." Jake Paul's team confirm Anthony Joshua fight talks and reveal potential date and venue Fury, 36, retired after consecutive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year but told fans at a BoxPark event in July that he will return in 2026. Paul is 12-1 in his career with his lone loss coming against Fury's brother Tommy in 2023. He made his heavyweight debut in November when Mike Tyson controversially made a comeback aged 58. Paul won on points over eight shorter two-minute rounds and returned to cruiserweight in June to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And he beat the former middleweight world champion over ten rounds - placing him 14th in the WBA's rankings. Paul, 28, first called out Joshua, 35, on his podcast earlier in the year sparking a behind-the-scenes back and forth between the two. And that spiralled into genuine talks with Paul's advisor Nakisa Bidarian meeting with AJ's promoter Hearn for talks in England. And Smith added: "I think you have to respect what Jake Paul has done. "He's not at the level of Anthony Joshua, and he keeps calling people and one day these fights will happen. "This is the reality, and I think this could be the end of Jake Paul's influencer dreams of becoming a boxer. "I don't think he can knock out AJ, but we shall see."

Where can I watch Sunday's Euro 2025 final?
Euro 2025 has brought us a summer of fierce competition and fantastic football. After a nail-biting quarter-final and semi-final, defending champions England will battle it out against Spain on Sunday to see who will lift the trophy. Even if you can't get to Switzerland, there are lots of ways you can soak up the match-day atmosphere in your local area or even from the comfort of your own home. Here's our guide to watching the game. Where to watch in England? Kick-off is at 17:00 BST on Sunday 27 July. Check out big-screen venues across the country, like Corner Corner in Canada Water, London, BoxPark in Croydon, Wembley, Shoreditch, Camden and Liverpool, TOCA Social in Birmingham's Bullring, London's O2 and White City as well as Manchester's Freight Island and AO Arena. You may want to check your local BBC Weather forecast to see if you should bring a raincoat or pack your suncream. Football clubs, pubs, bars, beer halls, yards and other local venues will be showing the match, so check social media to find out what might be going on in your area. Pubs are allowed to stay open an extra two hours on the day of the final - meaning they can keep serving until 01:00 on Monday. For something family-friendly, check out things like the National Football Museum's free watch party in Manchester, which has crafts and activities for children on the night. Of course, there's always the option to grab some flags and snacks and throw your own party at home. How can I watch the match at home? The final will be shown on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and ITV on Sunday 27 July, with the BBC coverage starting at 15:40. Gabby Logan will be presenting live from Basel with former Lionesses Alex Scott and Jill Scott pitchside. On radio, you can listen to BBC Radio 5 Live with Katie Smith from 16:00. Follow every minute on the BBC Sport website and app, with live match reports, key moment clips, highlights, interviews and analysis. And don't forget podcasts on BBC Sounds to help get your football fix, including Football Daily and Feast of Football. Can I still get match tickets? The St Jakob Park stadium in Basel has a capacity of about 38,000 people - 52,000 fewer seats than Wembley Stadium, where the Euro 2022 final was held. The last time we checked the UEFA website, there were no tickets or resales left, though they may be available on other resale platforms. But if you happen to be in Switzerland without tickets, you can still catch all the action from the fan zones in Basel, Bern, Geneva and Zurich city centres. Organisers say they offer a "packed schedule of activities for all ages", with live screenings of matches, concerts, workshops and child-friendly football pitches.
