Eddie Hearn recounts how the ex-world champion reacted to a compatriot’s fight offer.
Tyson Fury continues to desperately look for a new opponent. The WBC world champion team is even willing to return to the Anthony Joshua option, although they previously refused to do so.
According to the promoter of the former world heavyweight champion, they received a verbal offer from a compatriot. However, Joshua himself did not take him seriously, instead he just laughed.
“There is no contract. There is a formal offer, that is, George Warren sent an email: “We want to fight in September on the same terms we discussed earlier. Let’s talk.” That’s how it was. I talked first. Five minutes later I called him again, and we had a good conversation. Since then, we’ve talked several times.
I talked to Joshua. He laughed. AJ asked, “Isn’t Fury fighting Jay Opetaya, Demsey McKean or Jon Jones?” I said, “No, they told us they wanted to fight you.” Joshua said, “But we play in August and December.” I say, “OK, that’s our plan, but I’m going to go through the process and see if it’s realistic,” Hearn said in an interview on iFL TV’s YouTube channel.
We remind you, Fury said earlier that he wanted to meet with the Australian to prepare for the fight with Usyk.
