Hearn: «Joshua Ready to Fight Anyone»

Promoter and head of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, commented on Oleksandr Usyk's (22-0, 14 KOs) victory over Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) and discussed the plans for his client Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs).

«Usyk won quite convincingly. I approached and asked Joshua, ‘What do you think?’ He replied, ‘Usyk won. Great fight, but Usyk is the clear winner.’

Joshua? He’s ready to fight anyone. He would like to fight Usyk again. He would like to fight Tyson Fury. He’s happy to fight Hrgović. He’s happy to fight Dubois. Happy to fight Parker, Wilder. Any of them.

There are no problems with Anthony Joshua. Anyone who wants a fight with him can get it, but at the same time, he wants to reclaim his heavyweight champion title,» said Hearn.

The fight between Usyk and Fury lasted all 12 rounds and ended with a split decision victory for the Ukrainian. Oleksandr Usyk is the first undisputed heavyweight champion since November 13, 9 when Lennox Lewis defeated Evander Holyfield in a rematch.
