Anthony Joshua Will Fight Tyson Fury If He Beats Oleksandr Usyk – Eddie Hearn

Popular Boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn has come out to say that Anthony Joshua will fight Tyson Fury later this year.

He, however, warned the Gypsy King must beat Oleksandr Usyk first, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, since the darts Championship will be happening between December and January, he expects another Fury vs AJ faceoff to happen in 2024 if Fury holds up his end of the deal.

He added that everybody wants to the rematch, so it will most likely happen after AJ’s battles with Dillion Whyte and Wilder.

His words, “Because the darts Championship happens in December and January, I’m gonna say that Fury vs AJ happens this year.

So I’m gonna say Fury vs AJ [happens first].

Everybody wants to see this fight and on August 12, Anthony Joshua will fight Dillion Whyte, after that he will fight Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia and then after that it has to be Tyson Fury.

We have to be honest, Fury cares about one thing only, the money.”

WOW.

Anthony Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
