The Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua undisputed fight has been the talk of the sport for a while now. While the focus has been primarily on the main event between the two heavyweight champions, promoter Eddie Hearn has given fans some more good news.
Reports revealed the incredible amount of money Joshua and Fury would earn from this bout. However, it also revealed that Hearn and Matchroom would have only $5 million for the undercard. Therefore, many suspected a low-profile event. However, Hearn has now addressed this issue.

The promoter spoke on the DAZN Boxing Show, which Michael Benson was quick to catch onto. The Englishman promised a ‘great undercard’ for the fight. He even claimed there would be several title fights and also cross-promotional bouts.
Thus, based on his comments, it promises to be a blockbuster event. However, Hearn will have to ensure that the undercards are good fights, given the increased PPV price. Although, it will be interesting to see who they have on the undercard and which champions will feature.
Eddie Hearn has insisted that they are planning to have a “great undercard” for Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury on August 14th. He said there will be multiple world title fights and cross promotional clashes. [@DAZNBoxing Show]

Eddie Hearn may have to change his plans
The comments from Hearn showed they are planning a massive event. Usually, when two big names are fighting on the main event, the undercard is slightly low profile. However, Hearn assured that this would not be the case. Despite this, he may have to change his plans completely.
New developments revealed that Fury may face his old-foe Deontay Wilder before September 15. This could affect the Anthony Joshua fight on August 14. As a result, Joshua may have to face Oleksandr Usyk.

This would change the dynamic drastically and would not be as lucrative a fight as the Fury event. Therefore, Hearn may have to change his plans for the undercard, unless they find a solution for the Wilder situation.
Fans will hope that the situation gets resolved sooner rather than later.
