Tyson Fury tipped to face Anthony Joshua “straight away” following Deontay Wilder clash

Tyson Fury takes on Deontay Wilder on February 22 for the WBC world heavyweight title. Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has called for his fighter to face Anthony Joshua as soon as he beats Wilder. "I would like to see Tyson in with Joshua straight away after Feb. 22," Warren said. "I don't think it's a difficult negotiation, we have just seen that with two networks in the U.S. agreeing to work with each other for Wilder-Fury 2.” Warren went on to slam Eddie Hearn for being the reason that it hasn’t happened yet. “The only thing that stops it is all of the ego with Eddie Hearn. I don't see why it should be a problem at all,” Warren added. “It's a fight for the good of the sport that everyone wants to see. As long as Tyson wins his next fight, and Joshua wins his mandatory fight next, it can happen. "It seems like everyone is looking for reasons why it shouldn't happen. Nearly every big fight we have got over the line. The only one we didn't get was Lennox Lewis versus Riddick Bowe. Fury and Joshua are at their best, nothing is stopping it from happening except Joshua's people being afraid of their cash cow being beaten." Source- Express
