“Biggest Fight of All Time in the History of the Sport“: Eddie Hearn Supports Tyson Fury to Beat Oleksandr Usyk but There’s an Anthony Joshua Catch

Eddie Hearn seems to thrive in promoting the Saudi clashes. In the wake of the Day of Reckoning’s success, the promoter is chasing yet another big event which he thinks would be the “Biggest Fight Of All Time In The History Of Sport ” However, for the fight to take its course, he needs Tyson Fury to defeat Oleksandr Usyk at their upcoming undisputed clash.

On February 17, the boxing world will get its next undisputed heavyweight champion, a title that has not been held since 1999. WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO, and The Ring Heavyweight champion, Usyk will face off against WBC champion Fury in the ongoing Riyadh season on February 17. While the world sees this as the biggest fight in years, Hearn believes a fight that could happen as a result of it will be the biggest.

Hearn invokes Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua

Last night at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Anthony Joshua undertook his third fight of the year. By winning against Otto Wallin, he brought his score of the year to a 3-0. Decked in a dapper suit on the sidelines of the event, Hearn was roped in by iFL TV for a quick conversation. Calling AJ “the best heavyweight in the world,” Hearn outlined what the future looked like for AJ.

Impressed by what ‘AJ’ managed to do this year, especially in Riyadh last night, the promoter envisions a Tyson Fury clash for him. However, in these claims, he wishes Fury, a fighter he has increasingly been critical of to win against Usyk. He noted, “My God, give me Tyson Fury now, please. There is absolutely no way Tyson Fury beats Anthony Joshua. No way. But let’s get behind Fury to beat Usyk and let’s get that fight made. That’s the biggest fight of all time in the history of the sport.”

Hearn is pushing his fighter to see Fury in the ring. However, AJ has some fights that he is still eyeing that could make his Tyson Fury fight a bit difficult.

AJ opens up about Fury clash

At the post-fight press conference last night, both Hearn and AJ were quizzed about a Fury fight. While the promoter remained keen on it, AJ had more to say. When asked to choose between Fury and Filip Hrgvoic, the British fame remarked, “100 percent Tyson Fury. But I’m not dodging Hrgovic by the way. I’ll fight Hrgovic as well.”
