Hearn: Looking at White, Hrgovic, Zhilei and Wallin as Joshua’s next opponents

White is the most interesting opponent for Anthony

Promoter Eddie Hearn named boxers with whom he would like to fight in the future Anthony Joshua. The ex-world champion wants to fight strong opponents, in a duel with which there will be a real risk.

“Anthony wants me to give him a real fight. We’re not interested in staged fights. There must be an element of risk.”

Dillian Whyte – this is not a battle for December, but for March or summer, 100%. It’s a big stadium fight in the UK. There is also Filip Hrgovicwho just won. I think that [в последнем поединке] he gave a poor performance. Zhilei Zhang looked good. At Otto Wallina there was also an equal fight with Tyson Fury.”

“These guys need to get active. I talked to White, he fought last year, then this April. Against Joshua, who boxed every three months, it will be hard for him right away. He’s losing confidence in his team.”

Earlier it was reported that Joshua accepted Tyson Fury’s offer to fight. The boxer also agrees to the distribution of the fee 60 to 40 in favor of the current world champion. Boxers are considering three dates for the fight – November 26, December 3 and December 17.

In August, Joshua lost by split decision to Ukrainian boxer, WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury defeated Dillian Whyte ahead of schedule in April of this year, after which he announced his retirement twice. At the same time, Tyson has not yet vacated the WBC championship belt.
