In August, Anthony will try to take revenge on the Ukrainian world champion
Famous promoter Eddie Hearn spoke about a possible fight Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The manager thinks that if AJ wins Oleksandr Usyk in revengethen in December he will meet with the Gypsy King in the battle for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion.
“I think that the fight between Joshua and Fury will always be relevant. When I walk down the street, people still ask me questions: ‘When will AJ fight Fury?’ I answer: ‘He has a fight with Usyk first’. And they have a reaction: ‘Oh, really’. Of course, no one wants to suffer two losses in a row, but Usyk is now perhaps ranked first in the P4P rating, ”said Hearn.
“Losing Usyk is not a disaster. The fight with Fury is always there and relevant. However, the fight [между Энтони и Тайсоном] for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion would be the greatest in history. And I think that if AJ beats Usyk, then you will see him fight [с Фьюри] in December”.
Usyk and Joshua’s rematch date will be announced soon. The fight is expected to take place on August 13th or 20th in Saudi Arabia.
Usyk defeated Joshua last fall to become the new WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight champion.
WBC title holder Fury announced his retirement after a knockout win over Dillian Whyte in April.
