Eddie Hearn, the promoter for Anthony Joshua, is looking forward to a potential showdown between Tyson Fury and AJ if Fury manages to beat Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch and secure the undisputed heavyweight title. Despite believing Fury’s chances are slim, Hearn is hopeful for the mega-fight.
Hearn admits that even if Fury loses to Usyk again, a fight with Joshua could still happen. However, he recognizes that fans might not be thrilled, especially if it comes with a high pay-per-view price tag. The idea of a weakened Fury facing Joshua after defeats to Usyk is not appealing to fans.
While it would be ideal for Fury to avenge his loss to Usyk, Hearn doubts this outcome, citing Fury’s underwhelming performance in their previous fight. He suggests Fury may struggle to bounce back, given his age and recent challenges in the ring.
Hearn is cautious when discussing a potential Fury-Joshua match, expressing reservations about Fury’s chances against Usyk. He underscores the importance of Fury regrouping and recovering, hinting that a rematch with Usyk will be tough for the Gypsy King.
Despite uncertainties about Fury’s future, Hearn maintains hope for a future Fury-Joshua clash. He is confident the fight will happen eventually, irrespective of the Usyk rematch’s outcome. Nonetheless, Hearn acknowledges that a loss for Fury could dampen the hype for a showdown with Joshua, potentially diminishing its significance.
