A $10 “No” pays $11.85 if it doesn’t. Kalshi settles the market on whether the bout occurs before January 1, 2027.
Rumors flying at the White House
The market for this fight to happen in 2026 spiked at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House when Tyson Fury made a surprise appearance and teased an announcement with Dana White.
Neither commented on what the announcement might be, but signs are pointing toward Fury potentially aligning with White’s Zuffa Boxing promotion. When asked about Joshua, Fury made it clear the two are hoping to make the fight happen this year.
“Very, very, very excited for this fight. It’s been over a decade in the making. For whatever reason, it hasn’t happened before. Let’s hope it happens right now, very soon,” Fury said. “Potential fight in August and maybe at the end of the year it happens.”
