Hearn: We’ll see a fight for the undisputed title, after which Hrgovic will get his shot at the belt

Promoter Eddie Hearn said that the Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic can allow a fight for the title of absolute world champion between the holder of the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight belts Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs). According to Hearn, there is a way to satisfy all stakeholders.

“Of course, we are working according to the instructions from Filip Hrgovic. For Hrgovic, we are working with Kalle Sauerland. Philip is a mandatory bidder, we asked for a promotional bid.

I think now the WBA will say that Daniel Dubois is in line for a title fight. Whenever the duel for the title of absolute world champion takes place, the belts will begin to separate and things will move forward. It will be interesting”.

“I believe that you will see a fight for the absolute if everything works out without failures for them. After that, the belts will become vacant, and Philip will get his chance, Daniel Dubois his. You will probably see a number of champions,” said the promoter.

Promoter Frank Warren has previously said that Usyk will be Fury’s next opponent after the Brit’s fight with Derek Chisora, which is scheduled for December 3. The same thesis was confirmed by Tyson himself, who announced his readiness to fight the Ukrainian after the fight with Derek.

In addition, the Gypsy King has announced three fights for 2023. Promoter Alexander Krasyuk said that the working date of the Usyk-Fury fight is February 18.

The position of the IBF, which believes that the fight of the Ukrainian with the mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic, is more priority than the sanctioning of the unification fight between Usyk and Fury, can hinder the organization of the Usyk-Fury fight.
