This entire anecdote left Joshua and his promoter disheartened, as they eagerly waited for this collision. But now that Fury has moved on to fight Wilder, the Matchroom boss, Eddie Hearn, has yet another opponent for ‘The Gypsy King’- the WBC interim heavyweight champ, Dillian Whyte.
Speaking on the DAZN Boxing Show, he said, “If Tyson Fury wants another fight in between, let’s do the right thing and give the fight to the mandatory challenger, which is Dillian Whyte.” (h/t Michael Benson)
Fury will battle ‘The Bronze Bomber’ on July 24th, and post that, he’ll be free to take any and everyone on. ‘The Gypsy King’ has a powerful urge to face ‘AJ’ for all the titles on the line. But the latter himself has a fight lined up for September 25th against Oleksandr Usyk.
Citing that, Hearn feels until Joshua finishes up his contest with the Ukrainian boxer, Tyson Fury should take on one more fight against ‘The Body Snatcher’.
