Planned for 2025: the "fight of monsters" has been named, which will surpass the rematch of Usyk-Fury
Hearn spoke about the super heavyweight division
British heavyweights Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-1-1, 24 KOs) are scheduled to face off in a face-to-face confrontation by the end of next year. This fight will be a real battle of the monsters of the royal division, which fans around the world are waiting for.
This opinion was expressed in an interview with the BBC by promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua. According to him, after the fight with Daniel Lubois (21-2, 20 KOs) on September 21, his client will be looking forward to Fury's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). However. Anthony and Tyson should still meet in the ring regardless of the results.
"I think the Joshua-Fury fight will happen regardless of whether Fury wins the rematch or not, but the scale of the fight depends on their next results. The deadline is the end of 2025, of course. If Joshua beats Dubois and Fury beats Usyk, we will have the biggest fight in the history of the sport. If one of them loses and the other wins, it will still be a monster fight," Hearn said.
We would like to remind you that in the first fight , Usyk defeated Fury by split decision - 114:113, 113:114, 115:112 - and became the absolute world heavyweight champion.
A month after the fight, on May 18, the Ukrainian was forced to give up the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt, which Joshua and Du Bois will fight for.
Before that, Oleksandr spoke categorically about what would happen if Tyson tried to disrupt the rematch. He also shared his expectations for the second fight with Fury and responded to accusations of cheating during the May 18 fight. In addition, Alexander told what he learned from this fight.
The legendary Volodymyr Klitschko shared his expectations for the rematch between Usyk and Fury. And ex-champion Amir Khan disagreed with the forecasts for the fight's repeat. In addition, Russian Alexander Povetkin attributed the success of our compatriot to Russia.
In turn, Russian boxing coach Andrei Ivichuk called Tyson the winner of the upcoming rematch with Oleksandr. And the Ukrainian named the only boxer he is interested in fighting after the second fight with the Briton.
