Boxing Showdown Alert: "The Gentleman's" Golden Strike on the King!
Photo by Visionhaus/Getty Images Talk of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury being locked in has gathered pace, but Eddie Hearn has now stepped in to reshape the narrative. Recent reports suggested an agreement had been signed for the long-awaited heavyweight clash, even pointing to a potential Netflix involvement in the fight. The idea of Joshua and Fury finally meeting has circulated for years, with multiple failed negotiations keeping boxing’s biggest domestic showdown out of reach.
Now, just as momentum appeared to build again, Hearn has offered a very different version of events. Eddie Hearn responds to Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury reports Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty Images Hearn was direct when addressing claims that a deal had already been completed following Gareth A. Davies’ report.
“Completely untrue. There is absolutely nothing signed with Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury next. There is nothing agreed,” the boxing promoter told The Stomping Ground.
“There has been conversations, and deep conversations as well, prior to the accident that he was going to fight Jake Paul. Then he was going to fight in February or March, in Saudi Arabia. Then he was going to fight Tyson Fury.
Nothing signed. And then obviously the accident happened. ” Despite denying Davies’ information, Hearn conceded that the blockbuster clash is not ruled out.
