Eddie Hearn believes that victory Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) will significantly increase the chances of returning to the ring Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).
“I think that if Usyk beats Joshua again, Fury will remain in sports retirement, because I doubt that he will want to fight Usyk. But if AJ wins this time, and I sincerely believe in this, we will witness the greatest boxing match in history!” said the head of Matchroom Boxing in an IFL interview.
The second fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk should be officially announced in the near future. It is scheduled for August 13 or 20 in Saudi Arabia.
