“We saw it against Andy Ruiz, we saw it against Kubrat Pulev. He’s not really getting the credit for that, I think you know, but it was a great performance, I thought. It was a really well-rounded, mature performance. That was a bit of everything.” 

Hearn praised ‘AJ’ for his Saturday night performance against Pulev, he termed it as a ‘well-rounded, mature performance’. He believed that Joshua has developed a style difficult to beat and this will equip him with an advantage over Tyson Fury.

Eddie Hearn keen to book Joshua vs Fury for 2021

There’s not much left for ‘AJ’ to prove rather than battling Tyson Fury. Joshua and his manager are on the same page and want this fight to go on the floors in early or mid-2021.

It will be the most electrifying battle between modern pugilists, and this will determine the best heavyweight boxer on the planet right now.

After securing a T/KO win on Saturday night, Joshua has improved to a mammoth 24-1 record. On the flip side, his arch-rival remains undefeated with a 30-0 pro-Boxing record.

Many boxing enthusiasts believe, ‘AJ’ can be a resilient opponent for Fury who can hand him his first ‘L’ in professional boxing.

Eddie Hearn should get to work and finalize this much-awaited battle in collaboration with Fury’s promotion. This fight will cater to immense masses across the globe.

Is it finally time for this fight to happen? Who will you corner in this vicious battle?
