Head of Matchroom Boxing, promoter of Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KO) and Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KO) - Eddie Hearn agreed in a virtual conversation with fans to analyze the current and future situation at the top of the heavyweight division following the recent momentous fights of Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder III and Alexander Usyk vs Anthony Joshua.

"How do I see the super featherweight in the next two years? I think Tyson Fury will face Dillian Whyte. Alexander Usyk will have a rematch with Anthony Joshua. Then the winners of those fights will cross their gloves in a fight for all the belts," Hearn said.

"Once the outright champion is determined, the titles will be split up again, it's all a matter of time. We'll see some occasional champions, their era will probably still come. Those were the times in the history of boxing. In the meantime, we're waiting for the WBC convention, where the Fury vs Whyte fight will probably be scheduled. It's the beginning of a certain phase," Hearn added.
