FORMER world heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury could carve out a route to Anthony Joshua, the reigning, unified heavyweight champion. Eddie Hearn, Joshuaโs promoter, would welcome Fury into the Matchroom stable and believes that would offer him the clearest path to some of the biggest fights in the sport.
โThereโs been a lot of rumours that heโs going to be joining up with us. Thatโs not true as far as I know. Weโre not close to any kind of agreement,โ Hearn told Sky Sports. โWeโve had some conversations, as I think heโs talking to everybody right now.
โWeโll see.โ
He believes he could offer Fury a clear route to some of the biggest fights in the sport.
Hearn said, โOf course if he comes with us, itโs a very straightforward road to a lot of big heavyweight fights. Of course, Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, Tony Bellew, some big Box Office pay-per-view fights for him and ultimately the grand prize of Joshua because that is a huge fight.โ
He added, โIt all depends on what level he wants to come back at. I think having been out of the ring so long, he needs to come back at a reasonable level to develop and prepare for those big fights. Iโd be more than happy to welcome him to the team. As far as Iโm concerned, this will be the best place for him. Tyson is his own man. Heโs a lot more switched on than he may appear.โ
