British promoter Eddie Hearn offered Fury to fight Joshua instead of fighting Usyk
The promoter of the British boxer Anthony Joshua Eddie Hearn offered Tyson Fury an opponent to replace the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. The expert’s words are quoted by the iFL TV YouTube channel.
“Why not do a Joshua-Fury fight? This is a much more moneyed fight than Usyk-Fury. This is the biggest fight in professional boxing,” he said, adding that he would discuss the possibility with Fury’s promoter Frank Warren. However, Hearn noted that Joshua must first defeat the American Jeremain Franklin. Their meeting will take place on April 1st.

The boxers were supposed to fight on April 29, negotiations for the fight have been going on since the fall of 2022. “No matter how much Usyk compromised, he still put forward new demands,” he stressed.
Fury has 33 wins, one draw and no losses. He owns the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight championship belt.
Joshua is a former World Boxing Federation (WBO), International Boxing Federation (IBF), International Boxing Organization (IBO) and World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion. In total, in his professional career, he won 24 victories and suffered three defeats.
