Hearn: «As of Today, There Is No Joshua vs. Fury Fight»

Promoter and head of Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, discussed future fight options for his client Anthony Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs). According to Hearn, the Brit would like to fight fellow countryman Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) or the undisputed heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs), but another opponent seems more likely.

«As of today, there is no Joshua vs. Fury fight because everything is pointing towards the Usyk vs. Fury rematch happening. AJ would like to have his next fight with Fury or Usyk. But it’s most likely that he will have to fight the winner of the Hrgovic vs. Dubois bout. Nothing is confirmed yet. September, Wembley – that's what His Excellency wants to see. We’ll meet next week to discuss our plans,» said Hearn.

Filip Hrgovic (17-0, 14 KOs) and Daniel Dubois (20-2, 19 KOs) will meet on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the 5 vs. 5 tournament between Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions.
