    Kelly v Agyarko

    After weighing in, Josh Kelly says he's going to humiliate Caoimhin Agyarko tonight.

    There was a bit of pushing and shoving between these two at Thursday's news conference but nothing at the weigh-in.

    We might be in line for an absolute belter of a fight here.

    Get Involved - Where should Joshua v Fury be?published at 20:24 BST 25 July

    Use 'Get involved' to have your say

    So it begs the question... Where do you think Anthony Joshua v Tyson Fury should be?

    We've heard possibilities for Wembley, Vegas and Madison Square Garden.

    Let's have a good old debate.

  3. 'Battle of Britain' outside of Britain?published at 20:22 BST 25 July

    Joshua v Prenga

    Did anyone see Eddie Hearn and Tony Bellew having a rather heated discussion about where the potential fight between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury should be?

    Bellew was all for it being in the UK, at a suitable time for a UK audience, while Hearn was slightly more open to it being in the US.

    Surely, the 'Battle of Britain' has to actually be in Britain?

  4. 'Who knows where the fight's going to be?'published at 20:19 BST 25 July

    Joshua v Prenga

    Questions still linger over where the all-British bout would take place, with Eddie Hearn saying Anthony Joshua's contract stipulates the UK, but industry whispers suggest a venue in America.

    "We'll head wherever we're going to head," Tyson Fury said.

    "Who knows? It could be in Vegas, New York, Ireland, London. Who knows where the fight's going to be?"

  5. 'The goal is to conquer the universe'published at 20:17 BST 25 July

    Joshua v Prenga

    Anthony Joshua has made it no secret about how important tonight is. A win takes him to the brink of a huge fight with Tyson Fury and who knows what's beyond that.

    "We've been working since January, working hard, keeping my head down and aligning all my stars," Joshua said at Thursday's news conference in Jeddah.

    "I'm fully focused. I understand there's a big picture. The goal is to conquer the universe, right? But first we must conquer Earth. And this is my target here."

    On the death of Anthony Joshua's two friends...

    Stuff like that, you will never forget. It's OK to not forget. It's part of the process. He has been under immense pressure since the beginning. Pressure is nothing new to him. It's what he's used to as AJ as the brand and the athlete.

    It produces amazing moments and diamonds, as they say. Only on Saturday night will we actually tell. It's easy to sit back and theorise.

  7. Usyk in Jeddah to support Joshuapublished at 20:11 BST 25 July

    Look who's in the house.

    Heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk is in Jeddah to support his friend Anthony Joshua from ringside.

    He posted a message of support on social media earlier today: "Good luck tonight. I know how much work you have put into preparing for this fight. Now go out there and do what you came to do. Respect always!"

    Joshua v Prenga

    On 29 December 2025, Anthony Joshua's life changed forever as he lost close friends Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami in a car crash in Nigeria.

    Here's what he said when asked by BBC Sport: "It's tough, every time I think about it, it hurts.

    "Even talking about it now... pictures… it hurts but I keep my mind occupied, you know.

    "If I stop, you let it sink in and I'm not ready for it to sink in yet."

    Kelly v Agyarko

    Caoimhin Agyarko, speaking before his fight against Josh Kelly: "I'm feeling great and looking forward to going out and performing. It's been a long time coming and I'm looking forward to it.

    Asked to give a message to his fans: "Thanks for all the support. I've had a lot of support back home, which I'm very grateful for. Hopefully, I can come back with the belt."

    Asked to give a message to people in Saudi Arabia who may be seeing him for the first time: "I hope they like the performance and I can take home a few fans from Saudi."

    Josh Kelly, speaking before he defends his IBF light-middleweight title against Caoimhin Agyarko: "It's my first time in Jeddah, I love it. It's relaxed, the people have been good and it's a beautiful culture.

    "No [nerves], it's perfect. I've been here and done these things all my life, boxed in the big arenas. I can't wait to go out there and perform. I can't wait to put a show on for them [the fans] and let them see what my style is all about."

    Time to hear from Josh Kelly and Caoimhin Agyarko next.

    There's a bit of needle surrounding this one with the IBF light-middleweight title on the line.

    Have to admit that I haven't seen too much of Kristian Prenga but one thing's for sure, he's a big lad.

    Look at him here next to Anthony Joshua. If he lands, you'll know about it.

  15. Written in the stars for Kelly?published at 19:49 BST 25 July

    Kelly v Agyarko

    Before his crowning moment against Bakhram Murtazaliev in January, Josh Kelly was having premonitions, including seeing Olympic rings in his hotel steam shower, taxi plates with "PYT" and "NEW", and a pre-fight prayer vision of a round-nine knockdown, before winning the IBF light-middleweight title.

    And they're back.

    This time, he's picturing Caoimhin Agyarko flat on his back with the exact colour shorts he'll be wearing. Spooky.

    The man from Sunderland will be on in about an hour or so.

    BBC Sounds

    Radio commentary from Jeddah will begin from about 20:30 BST on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, and the BBC Sport website and app.

    Coverage will be presented from ringside by Jonathan Overend, alongside two-weight world champion Natasha Jonas and boxing expert Steve Bunce.

    Don't say we never give you anything!

  17. Will Fury be ringside?published at 19:44 BST 25 July

    After stopping a man closer to 50 than 40 in Pattaya, Tyson Fury insisted he was heading home to do some ironing rather than flying to Jeddah.

    Do we believe him?

    In a separate interview, he suggested he would attend. An Instagram post later carried the location: “Who Knows.”

    Now, the rumours are flying.

    I even heard a suggestion that he could make a WWE-style entrance if Anthony Joshua wins. I'm guessing that was a joke? Knowing Tyson Fury… never say never.

    In all seriousness, if Fury is ringside tonight, then boxing fans will want a concrete announcement. Date and location.

  18. Fury says he won't be ringsidepublished at 19:41 BST 25 July

    Joshua v Prenga

    Will we see Tyson Fury take a seat ringside tonight?

    Well, according to the man himself, no, we won't.

    "I've got to face off with my wife. I've got to iron when I get home. I've been away for six out of the last seven months", Fury said.

    "I'm not going to Jeddah, I'm going home to my wife and kids. I'm going to regroup and hopefully we'll have a big fight signed next week."

    Joshua v Prenga

    With Anthony Joshua's return pencilled in the diary, Tyson Fury decided to take some of the limelight away.

    Fury took on 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in Thailand yesterday. A bout he won after Wach retired on his stool at the end of the seventh round.

    Fury said after the fight about Joshua: "I went through my test tonight. Let's see if he can get through his."
