5'I hope Fury beats Usik': Joshua's promoter emphatic about 2024 main event fight
Hearn speaks about the Usik-Fury fight
British promoter Eddie Hearn expressed hope that Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) will defeat Oleksandr Usik (21-0, 14 KOs) in a fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion. This will increase the chances of organizing a fight between the Gypsy King, as the Manchester native is called, and Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs).
Hearn said this in an interview with TNT Sports following the results of the grand boxing night in Saudi Arabia on December 23, sportbible.com reports. Commenting on the victory of Joshua, whose case he manages, the promoter emphasized that the defeat of Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) by Joseph Parker (34-3, 23 KOs) put an end to the confrontation between the American and Anthony.
