Hearn reacts to rumors that Joshua wants to fight Fury instead of Wilder

Eddie Hearn, former world heavyweight champion promoter Anthony Joshua, commented on the words of Tony Bellew that instead of fighting with Deontay Wilder his boxer wants to fight with Tyson Fury.

“There are a lot of conversations going on. If you read Twitter, then they write that the fight between Joshua and Wilder may not take place, that AJ will fight Fury. Or Fury can fight Usyk, Usyk can fight Hrgovic. To be honest, any of these fights are possible. These are the realities of this situation.

As for our fight with Wilder, nothing has changed over the past 3-4 days. Is there any talk about AJ vs Fury? Nothing special. Are the Saudis interested in holding this fight? I think yes. Are they interested in the Usyk-Fury fight? Yes. Are they interested in the Joshua-Wilder fight? Yes.

From my point of view, we are now really trying to arrange a fight with Wilder. Are we interested in considering a fight with Fury? One hundred percent, but we have been discussing the fight with Wilder for several months, ”Hearn said in an interview with the Boxing Social YouTube channel.
