WATCH: When John Fury Threatened Anthony Joshua and Accused Eddie Hearn of Being Jealous

Anthony Joshua is currently atop the boxing world after defending his heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev. However, people aren’t quick to forget Tyson Fury, who is considered the best in the division right now. As a result, an AJ-Fury super-fight is all the rage right now.

Tyson Fury’s father, John Fury, has unleashed a verbal tirade on AJ and promoter Eddie Hearn. He first said Tyson will ruin AJ’s life, and then attacked Hearn for being jealous of his son.

“AJ, this is to you, he’ll punish you, he’ll school you…. and he’ll make your life misery. Tyson will ruin your life, he will ruin Eddie Hearn’s life. Eddie Hearn can’t sleep at night, you know because of Tyson. I’ll tell you something, the jealousy is bubbling out of him… If anybody wanted Tyson Fury to lose that night, it’d be Eddie Hearn’s camp. And I know a lot. Let me tell you something Eddie Hearn, I know all your fighters, your entourage, and stuff. You can’t beat my son, you’ve got nothing to beat him. The man hasn’t been born yet or bred yet that can beat Tyson Fury.”

Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn looking to respond?

While John Fury could have done this to hype his son up, the things he has said are quite damning. Nonetheless, it isn’t like Hearn to just keep quiet and take shots like this.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have already been exchanging barbs on social media, with this adding further fuel to the fire. Hence, the Matchroom Boxing promoter could join the fray as well.

It will be silly on both sides to not get this fight done. Each side will get richer, while Joshua and Fury can finally settle which one of them is the better fighter.

However, as for a response to what John said, the best response can be with action. Get the fight booked and see if Joshua can beat Fury. One side has to eat humble pie after the fight.

The fight is being targeted for 2021, but a lot of negotiations are still ahead of us. Hopefully, they all get on the same page and fans can see this fight happen.
