The failure to finalize the fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has raised many questions about a fight between former champ Anthony Joshua and the WBC Heavyweight champion. This will be a sensational bout for the whole world and the UK. But, even though there are no official announcements yet for the fight, it seems like this potential matchup is already making it into the mainstream news. Joshua is set to face Jermaine Franklin on April 1, returning to the ring after almost a year. On the other hand, Fury has not announced his next fight since his negotiations fell apart with the Ukrainian.

Frank Warren, responsible for promoting the 34-year-old champion, slammed Eddie Hearn for making bold claims about the fight between Joshua and Fury. Wherein, Warren had a different story to tell.

Frank Warren is annoyed at Eddie Hearn

In an interview with talkSPORT, Warren showed dismay over Hearn’s remarks regarding the Fury and Joshua fight. Though Hearn had positive comments about the fight happening, Warren did not seem to be happy with this gesture of the 43-year-old British promoter.

Frank Warren claimed that it was a 30-second conversation and showed his disapproval of the claims made by Hearn. Warren said, “It was a 30-second conversation. We’ve not even discussed with Tyson. Really annoyed about that. ‘Contracts in the next week’, absolute b****cks.”  Frank added that conducting fight negotiations over social media can kill the fight. He said, “This is what starts all that stuff going, I know you’re in the social media business, and we are to a certain extent, but social media’s actually killing some of the fights because of the expectation level.”
