The promoter of the former unified world heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Briton Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) Eddie Hearn (Matchroom) gave
interview for the DAZN streaming platform.
In a conversation, the functionary commented on the end of the sports career of the WBC title holder from Britain Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), spoke about the magnitude of his possible fight against Joshua, and also assessed the possibility of Fury’s fight against the current holder of three titles from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk ( 19-0, 13 KOs).
– I don’t know if you heard, but Tyson Fury said that he would not resume his boxing career. He called himself Achilles and said that he make people begto come back and fight Usyk after Joshua loses to Alexander. But if Joshua beats Usyk, then he is going to fight Joshua for free in London without PPV. Your thoughts.
– I can definitely see how Tyson Fury continues his career. Tyson Fury is a genius. No one really questions what he’s saying. In one sentence, he says that he should be paid 500 million for the return, and in another he says that he will fight Joshua for free without PPV.
– Absolutely brilliant.
– The only option for Tyson Fury to fight again is only for a mountain of money. And Tyson Fury for a mountain of money will fly to hell in the middle of nowhere or to Mars. So it doesn’t really matter what he says about free tickets. These are all great things for a man whose mind does not think. “What is this guy talking about? This is amazing! These are amazing! Tyson Fury wants to fight for free. That’s the man!” And everyone with a thinking head knows that Tyson Fury will fight again only for a huge mountain of money.
- Fury has decided on an opponent – this is not a boxer and not an MMA fighter
The Usyk fight won’t generate as much money as the Joshua fight. I would never let my fighter go out and fight for free. Look, Joshua needs to finish his duel. It’s a very difficult task, but if he completes it, then Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua is not just the biggest fight in boxing, it’s the biggest fight in the history of the sport. I’ll make sure we do the right job with him, like we’ve done since he turned pro. And once again, Tyson Fury will milk every dollar out of this fight if possible.
“I think the fights with Wilder made Tyson quite a big star in the US. So I can’t argue about the magnitude of this fight, I just don’t know if it will happen. There is money for the fight with Joshua, but do you think there will be money if Usyk wins?
“It’s not as big a fight as Joshua-Fury, not even close. But it’s still a fight for the absolute champion. He must ask himself, what does he want? I think Fury cares about history. I think he wants a legacy. I am sure about that. I really think he wants to be the undisputed champion. But if the money isn’t right, he won’t do it.
Meanwhile, Fury exposed the mammoth at the entrance to the pizzeria. Topless tours continue – photo.
