"We should be honest": Joshua's promoter on Fury and Usyk
Hearn spoke out about the fight between Usyk and Fury
Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) must fight Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (20-0-0, 13 KOs) and compatriot Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) if he wants to make history in world boxing. The Gypsy King, as they call the Manchester native, is more interested in the financial component of his career.
This opinion was expressed by Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn in an interview with YouTube channel Piers Morgan Uncensored, the portal Boxing News 24 writes. He criticized Fury for the fact that he refused to hold a fight against Usyk for the title of absolute world champion in April and decided to enter the ring against the former champion of the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC) Francis Ngannou.
"Tyson Fury turned down the biggest and the most important fight in boxing for the absolute world heavyweight title to see a MMA fighter who has never fought in boxing in his life before. We have to be honest. Tyson Fury cares about one thing: money. Don't talk to me about legacy. He's beaten Volodymyr Klytschko and Deontay Wilder. Those are his best wins. He needs to beat Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua and then we can talk about him as one of the greatest superweights of all time," Hearn said.
We will remind that Usyk will hold a mandatory belt defense in a fight against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs) on August 26. The Ukrainian also challenged mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor to the ring, mocking Fury's fight with Ngannou. In case of winning, Oleksandr hopes to unify all the heavyweight belts in a fight with Tyson.
Saudi Arabia intends to organize fights Usyk - Fury and Joshua - Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) in one night. The media published the fees of boxers for the grand show. At the same time, Anthony has already confirmed his bout against Deontay.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, the famous Russian promoter Vladimir Khryunov wished leksandr Usyk defeat in the fight with Daniel Dubois. The Briton himself spoke about the fear he saw in the eyes of the Ukrainian during the duel of glances. Usyk sharply addressed Tyson telling him to go f*ck himself.
