Eddie Hearn stated that the decision Tyson Fury don't fight with Oleksandr Usyk will not affect the organization of the battle between Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) and Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs).
“Today and tomorrow we have teleconferences with people from Saudi Arabia. Wilder's representatives will also be there, so I expect everything we've talked about so far to be finalized."
“What is happening with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk does not affect our plans. We have already agreed that our fight will take place, no matter what Fury and Usyk do. If Fury does not want to fight, Usyk will fight Filip Hrgovic, who is the official contender for the IBF belt, on the same evening, ”added Hearn.
The Joshua-Wilder fight is scheduled for December in Saudi Arabia. Initially, the organizers planned that Fury would take part in a unification fight against Usyk at the same tournament.
