Eddie Hearn on Tyson Fury comeback

FORMER world heavyweight titlist Tyson Fury could carve out a route to Anthony Joshua, the reigning, unified heavyweight champion. Eddie Hearn, Joshuaโ€™s 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.

โ€œThereโ€™s been a lot of rumours that heโ€™s going to be joining up with us. Thatโ€™s not true as far as I know. Weโ€™re not close to any kind of agreement,โ€ Hearn told Sky Sports. โ€œWeโ€™ve had some conversations, as I think heโ€™s talking to everybody right now.

โ€œWeโ€™ll see.โ€

He believes he could offer Fury a clear route to some of the biggest fights in the sport.

Hearn said, โ€œOf course if he comes with us, itโ€™s 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, โ€œIt 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. Iโ€™d be more than happy to welcome him to the team. As far as Iโ€™m concerned, this will be the best place for him. Tyson is his own man. Heโ€™s a lot more switched on than he may appear.โ€
