Will Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua ever happen and why hasn't it happened yet?

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are generally considered as the two best British heavyweight fighters of their generation, with fans across the world continuing to herald them - though there will be a feeling of 'what if' should they fail to meet in the future.

Fury, 34, and Joshua, 33, both hit their primes in and around the 2015 mark, with Fury especially ramping up the pressure in 2018 on his return to boxing which saw him go head-to-head with Deontay Wilder in a successful trilogy.

The pair both have incredible records in their professional boxing careers, with Joshua's 24-0-3 record alongside Fury's 33-1-0 marking them as two of the most feared around in the game. Yet despite their greatness, a lingering doubt will be held over their careers should they fail to battle it out to become the 'best in Britain' - and that eventuality doesn't look any closer yet.
