Tyson Fury's Battle of Britain against Anthony Joshua could be pushed forward because of the US-UK travel ban, claims promoter Bob Arum as he insists 'everything is possible'

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua could fight sooner than expected because of travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus crisis, promoter Bob Arum has claimed.

The Gypsy King was due to face Deontay Wilder for the third time this summer, but that showdown is now unlikely to take place until November or December.

Joshua, meanwhile, has had his June title defence against Kubrat Pulev postponed and there is still no date for the pair to meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A huge Battle of Britain between Fury and Joshua had been expected to take place at some point in 2021, but Arum admits that 'everything is possible' in such uncertain times.
