“Anthony Joshua would be underdog against Tyson Fury,” says Eddie Hearn

Promoter Eddie Hearn has said “we’d be clowns” if he failed to agree on a deal for Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury. Fury had a stunning win over Deontay Wilder. The Gypsy King dropped the American in the third and fifth rounds before Wilder’s corner threw in the towel in the seventh session. The WBC world heavyweight champion will now look ahead to fight WBO, IBO, WBA and IBF champion, Joshua. Hearn said he has no intention of getting in the way of a showdown between the pair taking place. He told Sky Sports News: “I said to AJ last night: ‘The great thing about this is, you’re going into the fight as the underdog.’ Very rarely will you see AJ go into any fight as the underdog but this time, you look at the betting markets, AJ is the underdog against Tyson Fury? Perfect – just how we want it. We believe we’ve got the man who can be the undisputed heavyweight world champion. Tyson Fury believes he can beat Anthony Joshua. Only one way to find out – let’s make it happen.”  Source: The Guardian
