Eddie Hearn sends warning to Tyson Fury and delivers his verdict on "dangerous" Deontay Wilder trilogy fight

Eddie Hearn has sent a warning to Tyson Fury, claiming his trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder will be dangerous. Ahead of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk match at the Tottenham Hotspur, Hearn joined talkSPORT Breakfast. Speaking about Fury, the 42-year-old said that the British heavyweight is "not at 100 per cent", with Wilder now being more dangerous to face than many believe. “He’s not 100 per cent for that fight, he hasn’t had the best build-up. Last time out he was 100 per cent, he did a really great job on Deontay Wilder," he said on talkSPORT Breakfast. “He should win every round but Wilder does have the equaliser and, just like the Joshua vs Usyk fight, it’s a dangerous fight. Both fights are very dangerous. “We keep talking about the undisputed – you can’t keep playing with fire in the heavyweight division. We must make this fight. We had it made last time and we know what happened with the arbitration, blah blah blah. “But if AJ wins tomorrow and Fury wins again, we can’t play games with this because someone is going to get chinned in this game and then the whole thing will be over and we’ll all be left kicking ourselves. “So fingers crossed for these two fights coming up.” Then he added: “Honestly, Wilder’s technical ability, he’d struggle to win a British title, but he just hits so hard. “You look at the fight against Luis Ortiz – he lost every second of the fight for nine rounds, and all of a sudden out of nowhere he just knocked him spark out! “That’s the danger with the Tyson Fury fight. Fury won’t lose a round against Wilder, but Wilder has the power to take him out, and if he switches off or if he’s not well enough prepared or if he’s messing around in camp, it’s a very dangerous fight.”
