American promoter advises Joshua to fight two intermediate fights first
Bob Arum said that the promoter of former world champion Anthony Joshua Eddie Hearn not serious about organizing his client’s fight with the WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
“I don’t believe the fight is being put on because I don’t believe Hearn is serious about it.”
“If I were to advance after losing two fights in a row to Usyk, I would like to do two lesser fights for Joshua to restore his confidence before he fights at the highest level. If Joshua goes straight to Fury, it will be a very tough fight for him.”
“He will be beaten even more than Usyk could do.”
Fury has previously stated that he can easily deal with Joshua. According to him, the distribution of the fee for the upcoming fight 50 to 50 is out of the question, since he is much stronger.

Recently, Fury reached out to Anthony Joshua twice via social media and offered him a fight. Tyson also stressed that he was ready to provide a chance for Anthony to take possession of the WBC belt.
Joshua accepted Tyson Fury’s offer. 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.
