Eddie Hearn Feels Anthony Joshua Controls Tyson Fury’s Fate

Published 06/11/2022, 8:30 AM EDT

The English promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed the condition in which the reigning WBC and the Ring Magazine heavyweight champion Tyson Fury would return to the ring. According to Hearn, his boxer and star British heavyweight Anthony Joshua is playing the key factor in Fury’s return.

Talking to IFL TV, Hearn said, “I think if Usyk was to beat Joshua I think he’ll stay retired because I don’t think he wants to fight Usyk. But I think if AJ wins and I truly believe he will win. You will see the biggest fight in the history of boxing.”

Notably, after producing a spectacular showdown at Wembley Stadium, London against his heated rival and mandatory challenger, Dillian Whyte, ‘The Gypsy King’ had announced his retirement.

According to Fury, he has given a lot to the sport of boxing, and now he wanted to fulfill the promises he made to his wife and family. Since Fury had announced this, many are speculating about his return. Hearn is among them. Furthermore, he is the torchbearer of the theory that Fury was faking his retirement.

The most probable bout for which ‘The Gypsy King’ could alter his retirement is the undisputed heavyweight title shot.

After Usyk vs Joshua rematch, it would be clear who will become the unified heavyweight champ. The one who will come out victorious could meet Fury in the ring later. However, these are only speculations because Fury has said nothing about such a deal.
