“He Just Sent an Email”: Eddie Hearn Gives an Update on Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua

When it comes to orchestrating epic clashes in the boxing world, Eddie Hearn, the mastermind behind some of the biggest boxing matches, has an unparalleled reputation. Known for his shrewd business acumen, Hearn has steered clear of the ‘celebrity’ label. However, in a world of fisticuffs and knockouts, a recent revelation about him has caused a stir.

It’s not about a boxing ring controversy or a high-profile feud. Instead, it’s something far more mundane yet unusually captivating. What’s the upheaval about, you ask? It’s about an email – a simple, everyday tool that has unexpectedly become the centerpiece of the Fury vs Joshua showdown discussions. Buckle up as we delve into the unusual plot twist in the saga of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, brought to you by Eddie Hearn.

Eddie Hearn breaks the silence on the Fury vs Joshua proposal

Eddie Hearn, known for his ability to attract large audiences and orchestrate lucrative bouts, has been candid about the Fury vs Joshua situation. As one of the most powerful figures in British boxing, Hearn is known to handle each match with utmost precision and transparency.

Setting the record straight about recent rumors, Hearn stated, “There was no contract. I mean, formal offer. He just sent an email saying that we’d like to make the fight in September.” Clearing any misconception about a formal contract being in place, Hearn highlighted that the communication was initiated with just an email.

Continuing the conversation, Hearn elaborated on his immediate response to the email. “I called him straight away. We had a chat,” he said, hinting at his quick action upon receiving George Warren’s email. However, it seems that not everyone shares Hearn’s immediacy, especially when it comes to Fury’s commitment. “It’s difficult to take Tyson too seriously at the moment with everything he’s been saying, AJ certainly doesn’t, but it’s my job to take them seriously,” Hearn explained.

The boxing promoter also expressed uncertainty about Joshua’s willingness to rearrange his fight schedule based on the potential Fury fight. “I don’t know if Anthony will give up August and December on the hope of a Tyson Fury fight in September,” Hearn said, hinting at the potential disruption this proposed fight might cause in Joshua’s career plans.

Hearn concluded by setting the tone for the upcoming week with a tease about Joshua’s future fight plans. “We’ll see what happens in Saudi this week. That’s the fight we’re planning for him against Deontay Wilder. And he’s fighting in August, but the Tyson Fury fight is a huge fight, so we’ll definitely explore it. We definitely won’t base our career and plans around Tyson Fury, but it’s my job to go through the motions.”
