‘Best Promoter in the World’ Eddie Hearn Believes Tyson Fury Would Have Been a Lot Bigger With Him as a Promoter

Tyson Fury exited the boxing ride with his win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, after which several big superstars evolved into the division. Three years later, when ‘The Gypsy King’ returned, the heavyweight division was already booming with top-tier names.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn had then missed a chance to sign Fury with his stable. Fury joined forces with Bob Arum and Frank Warren, re-surging his prominence in the division. Well, Hearn has previously admitted to regretting the chance he missed on signing Fury. Now, he has claimed, he could have made Tyson Fury an even bigger superstar than what he has become now.

However, that hasn’t shrunk Hearn’s faith from his top-prodigy Dillian Whyte, who will challenge ‘The Gypsy King’ for the WBC heavyweight belt on April 23 as the promoter-backed Whyte to beat Tyson Fury.

According to reports, Hearn told Pro Boxing Fans, “Tyson Fury and John Fury, I like them.” 

“Also, they’re not idiots. They know how much bigger he would be if I was promoting him. They know I’m the best promoter in the world.”

“But, we’ve always had this little bit of back and forward, back and forward.”

“I think they’re both very entertaining and I think Dillian Whyte is going to beat Tyson Fury.”

Having KO-ed Deontay Wilder on his latest outing, it’s hard to picture Tyson Fury getting dominated by ‘The Body Snatcher’. However, Whyte is an absolute A-lister and has sheer features to trouble any man in a boxing matchup. As one punch can change it all, Fury shall never sleep on his upcoming opponent.

Can Eddie Hearn ever make money out of Tyson Fury?

Despite failing to sign the undefeated Fury, a potential super fight between AJ and ‘The Gypsy King’ could have profited both sides. Hence, Eddie Hearn can still benefit from Fury. However, AJ’s pro-record now reflects two defeats, and a fight against the current WBC champion will clearly make him an underdog in current situations.

Moreover, Tyson Fury has vowed to retire after his scrap against Dillian Whyte. So, it’s highly credible whether we will see him face AJ’ or join forces with Eddie Hearn at any stage.
