The day before, the head of Top Rank and the American promoter of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) Bob Arum complained that they could not organize a fight against ex-champion Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs). ) because of the latter’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.
“Hearn is slowing everything down because he doesn’t want the fight to happen. Why doesn’t he want to? It’s because Joshua lost three of his last five fights and Eddie knew he was going to fly again if he fought Fury. Therefore, Hearn, in fact, is an obstacle in the negotiations, ”said, in particular, Arum.
Hearn replied to Bob, recalling the words from two weeks ago.
“Two weeks ago, Bob said the following: “There is no chance that this fight will take place.” Now, it turns out, there are no more barriers, and I am to blame for everything. If you ask Bob what day it is, there is only 50% that he will answer correctly, ”addie teased his colleague.
Be that as it may, today Hearn stated: there will be no fight between Fury and Joshua.
