Eddie Hearn is confident that the WBC world heavyweight champion wants to meet his ward.
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will surely meet in the ring, as it will be the biggest fight in boxing. This opinion was expressed by Joshua’s promoter – Eddie Hearn.
Moreover, the functionary is sure that the WBC world heavyweight champion will not resist such an opportunity, and the fight will take place regardless of the result of the rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
“Joshua wants to be respected as a good boxer. His fight was tough, but if he wins, we will record him as the greatest boxer of all time.
I love that he’s the underdog in this rematch, and he really is because he lost the first fight.
I get a lot of questions about when Anthony will face Fury in the ring. In fact, he could skip the rematch with Usyk and face Tyson right away, because it would be the biggest fight in boxing. But Joshua wants his belt back.
He believes he can win and he should be respected for not just in one match but immediately agreed to a rematch.
I believe that the Joshua-Fury fight will happen no matter what happens on August 20. But if Anthony wins, this fight will be the greatest in the history of the sport, and not just in our generation,” said Hearn of Boxing News 24.
It can be remembered that the rematch between Usyk and Joshua will take place on August 20 in Saudi Arabia. The battle will take place in the city of Jeddah. In September 2021, Usyk defeated the Briton by unanimous decision.
