Anthony Joshua is the favourite in a fight against Tyson Fury, says Eddie Hearn


Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn "surprisingly" believes AJ is the favourite in the fight against Tyson Fury. IBF, WBA and WBO champion Joshua and WBC title holder Fury is set to face each other. Fury's US-based promoter Bob Arum claimed he was 95 per cent confident that the fight would happen in 2021 and 100 per cent certain that the WBC champion would win. But Hearn says: "I don't think anyone can be 100 per cent confident about anyone winning a fight like this. They could fight 10 times and wouldn't get 10 same results. "I believe Joshua is the favourite in this fight. I know that, with the bookies, Fury is. But I see the improvements that Anthony makes and the desire that he has got. "But I've written Fury off before - against Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder. He proved me wrong. But I don't believe he will prove me wrong this time. I believe our guy wins. But talk is cheap. We've got to roll the dice and find out."
