The Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury fight has dragged on for a few months now. While many fans and critics showed their frustration, Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn remained confident. And Hearn’s latest interaction with Fury suggests everything is finalized.
The two fighters signed a contract back in March. However, issues with the location and date have delayed a final announcement. As a result, Eddie Hearn faced immense criticism and people feared the bout would get canceled. However, fans may finally get to witness the huge fight between the heavyweight champions.
