As the talks of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua mega-fight continue to allure the combat community, Eddie Hearn hasn’t hesitated to take a dig at the WBC heavyweight titleholder. The Matchroom Director is clearly backing up his prodigy Anthony Joshua and has made some scratchy comments on Fury, vowing to present him the matchup he wants.

Since the initial build-up, Tyson Fury has clashed multiple times with Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn. Hence, it might be payback time for the Brit promoter. He connected with IFL TV to speak on several issues. But he couldn’t avoid passing some heat towards ‘The Gypsy King’.

Hearn said, “His (Fury’s) time is coming, and he is gonna get his wish because the fight is gonna happen, and hopefully there will be some good news soon. When it does, there’s only one winner, only one winner. I am so confident and like I said, working hard.”

Meanwhile, he added some more cheek to the tale and continued, “Hey Tyson (Fury) can you unblock me? Because when we get this fight made, I want to start the banter. Online. And it’s not fair that he can say something about me on social and I can’t reply.”

We have witnessed enough social banter between both sides. Other than the contenders, their promoters have also dived into the feud. So, it sets the perfect stage for an in-ring collision. However, with no official date and venue, the fight is still up in the air.
