Eddie Hearn Clarifies Speculation Surrounding Fury vs Joshua Showdown

In recent developments, Eddie Hearn, the influential British boxing promoter, has shed light on the rumors swirling around the anticipated Fury vs Joshua clash. Addressing the speculation, Hearn revealed, “There was no contract. I mean, formal offer. He just sent an email saying that we’d like to make the fight in September.” It seems that the proposal was made informally through email rather than a traditional contract.

While Joshua’s camp remains skeptical about Fury’s commitment, Hearn expressed his professional responsibility to treat the situation seriously. This transparency continues to reinforce Hearn’s credibility in orchestrating high-stake bouts, keeping the boxing world eagerly awaiting further updates.
