Hearn on Joshua vs Fury: Wilder won't make us trouble

Eddie Hearn does not think Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs) could interfere with plans for a unification fight in late spring or early summer for the four heavyweight belts between Anthony Joshua (24-1, 21 KOs) and  Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs).

The Bronze Bomber and his crew recently launched a so-called dispute resolution clause to convince Fury that he is contractually obligated to give him a third bout, but Joshua's promoter Hearn doesn't think that will help him much.

"[Fury's promoter] Bob Arum isn't particularly concerned about this," Hearn told Sky Sport. "For him, the contract [with Wilder] is no longer valid. There is mediation going on, but I don't think it will be a problem."

“If it turns out differently, at most Fury will somehow compensate Wilder some of the costs and will have two fights with Joshua,” the head of Matchroom Boxing added.
