Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, hints at the possibility of Joshua stepping into the ring with either Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk in the near future.
Following Tyson Fury’s recent loss to Oleksandr Usyk, discussions about his next move are buzzing. While Fury is entitled to a rematch with Usyk scheduled for October, there’s speculation that Joshua might enter the picture for a blockbuster fight.
Hearn mentioned on Matchroom’s YouTube channel the potential scenario of Fury facing Joshua, with the winner taking on Usyk. He emphasized the financial allure of such a matchup and hinted at the excitement it could generate.
However, hurdles remain, as both fighters have contractual obligations and physical readiness to consider. Fury’s recovery timeline and Usyk’s condition could influence the final decision.
Despite Joshua’s recent victory over Francis Ngannou, his losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. and Usyk have put his quest for reclaiming his belts on hold. The prospect of facing Fury or Usyk adds an intriguing twist to Joshua’s comeback journey.
