The two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is undefeated. After enough delay due to Fury’s subpar performance against Francis Ngannou, Fury is scheduled to face Oleksandr Usyk in February of next year. The fight will take place for the unified heavyweight championship. However, is Tyson Fury prepared for everything Usyk has to throw his way?
Anthony Joshua on the other hand has his calendar busy with two upcoming fights. Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter recently went on an interview with Boxing Social. Hearn shared his concerns while giving a reality check to Fury’s father John Fury. Let us know more about what Eddie Hearn said.

Eddie Hearn questions Tyson Fury’s training
The interviewer laid out a previous statement from John Fury regarding a possible Tyson Fury- Anthony Joshua fight. About the fight, Father Fury had said, “AJ has got his own problems and it will be the case of Lennox Lewis and Riddick Bowe, the fight that never took place. He’s got to get through the 23rd and then he’s fighting Wilder he’s got two Everest to climb before he gets to Tyson. At the end of the day, he had his chance didn’t he, and they flunked it. No, that one’s flew, the birds flew, that boat’s sailed, unless AJ keeps winning.”
Responding to the statement of John Fury, Hearn remarked, “I mean John Fury has just said that Tyson Fury is having terrible camp. His trainers are useless. He’s not in a great place to fight Usyk. Who knows what to believe.”
The promoter then talked about Joshua’s “Everests” referencing his fight against Otto Walin and subsequently Deontay Wilder. “Johnny’s right. AJ does have two Everests to climb. Once he climbs those Everests, he’s gonna knock Tyson Fury out. But Tyson has his own Everest to climb against Oleksandr Usyk. Let’s hope everybody wins,” Hearn concluded.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Tyson Fury is helping Joseph Parker secure a win against Deontay Wilder.

Tyson Fury’s simple tip to Joseph Parker before his fight
Parker is looking to score an upset win over Wilder at the Day of Reckoning. Amid the drama, Tyson Fury, who has defeated Wilder twice has been advising Parker. What advice the champion gave was unknown until Parker revealed it in an interview.
“It’s simple, don’t get hit with the right hand,” said Parker recalling what Fury had told him. Equipped with wisdom from training under Fury who has notably defeated Wilder in a trilogy, Parker is ready to get a dominant win in the fight against the former WBC title holder. If Wilder does get the win, it’ll get him the opportunity to fight against Joshua should he defeat Walin as well.
