Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua remains in limbo right now, with weeks of rumors and accusations flying around about a proposed November 20 date at Madison Square Garden. What’s wild is even if that megabout *did* happen, it wouldn’t even make our top five fall fights based on stakes, entertainment potential, and fan value. Because let me tell you, the confirmed schedule through New Year’s Eve is absolutely loaded.
The Biggest Fight That Won’t Happen (And Why It’s Getting Old)
Yeah, the Fury vs. Joshua saga is getting tired. Weeks of “rumors, accusations, shady statements, and lines in the sand” have crossed back and forth like a tennis rally, leaving fans hanging. A planned news conference in September was hastily pulled from the schedule, and we’re still without a firm date or location. The big sticking point is where the fight actually goes down. Joshua and Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn are holding firm that UK fight fans deserve to see the bout on home soil, eyeing Wembley Stadium in London or maybe Principality Stadium in Cardiff. But the people with the money, including Netflix, want the fight in a time zone friendly to American Netflix subscribers. This wrangling is wearing fans out, and frankly, the hype is losing steam day by day. It’s a bummer, but with the fall schedule shaping up this good, it’s not even a crushing blow.
These Fights ARE Confirmed and They Are FIRE
Forget the drama, let’s talk about the real action coming our way. The fall is stacked!
First up, mark your calendars for **October 17: Dubois vs. Wardley 2 on DAZN PPV**. The first fight between these British heavyweights, Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley, is still the leader in the clubhouse for Fight of the Year. Wardley exercised his rematch clause, so it’s on at the O2 Arena in London with Dubois’ WBO heavyweight title at stake. If this rematch is even half as good as the first one, it’s going to be an absolute cracker.
Then, just a week later on **October 24, we get Navarrete vs. Foster on DAZN**. This is an all-action banger with serious stakes! WBO/IBF World Junior Lightweight champion Emanual Navarrete of Mexico takes on WBC World Junior Lightweight champion O’Shaquie Foster of Houston in a unification fight at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. This matchup is guaranteed to deliver fireworks in a perfect setting where both fan bases can fill the seats. Whoever wins will sit atop the division without question. And the best part? It’s NOT a PPV! DAZN subscribers at all levels get the fight free, and new subscribers can even sign up for a free trial. The undercard is looking solid too, with exciting featherweight prospect Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez vs. Edward Vazquez, and the return of junior welterweight Frank Martin.
Canelo’s Back to Reclaim His Crown
And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got the legend back in action! On **October 31, it’s Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli, also on DAZN PPV**. Canelo Álvarez will attempt to become a world champion once again, challenging WBC World Super Middleweight title holder Christian Mbilli in a card being called “Mexico vs. the World.”
So while we wait for any actual news on Fury vs. Joshua, mark your calendars for some genuine fireworks this fall. These confirmed fights are stacked with title action, unification bouts, and guaranteed entertainment. You won’t want to miss a single punch!
