Despite the many uncertainties, this does not mean that enthusiasm for the future of competition should wane.
Renowned tournament promoter Eddie Hearn had a busy week in London, England, having just finished a promotional event for Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. This was followed by a video conference with Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi Entertainment Authority, and the discussion focused on the possibility of a match between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Speaking to reporters, Eddie Hearn revealed: "Turki Aleshkh is very eager to get Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to fight, and in fact whenever they get together, it's a big topic of conversation. ”
The match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has been discussed for the past decade. This discussion reached a fever pitch when both men held world titles.
Today, although both fighters are no longer the current world champions, their influence is still there. Especially after the emergence of the Saudi consortium, the discussion about the two-man match was brought up again. And this time the two parties also seem to be very enthusiastic.
Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has repeatedly pressured Turki Alesh, the chairman of the Saudi Entertainment Authority, to ask if he has any plans to achieve his fight with Anthony Joshua, and Al Shih has given him a rough plan, which is the second quarter of 2025.
"We won't miss this opportunity." Eddie Hearn told reporters after learning the news.
"If Tyson Fury (against Oleksandr Usyk) and Anthony Joshua (against Daniel Dubois) both beat their opponents this year, the size of their future matchups will be 10 or 20 times bigger. Of course, our priority is to make sure Anthony Joshua wins the fight on September 21 and becomes the world champion for the third time, and then it's Tyson Fury's turn. Anthony Joshua really wants to face off against Tyson Fury. And then he also wants to be the undisputed heavyweight hegemon. Eddie Hearn told reporters.
Despite his great confidence in winning the match, Eddie Hearn expressed respect for Anthony Joshua's opponent, Daniel Dubois, during the interview. "By the way, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois are going to be very tough, and I'm sure you've all seen Daniel Dubois in the last few fights, he's a tricky opponent, he's a tough opponent, he's going to be very aggressive in his attacks," he said. It's a bit of a disadvantage for Anthony Joshua, who is more of an accurate sniper, and I'm sure if you've watched him fight Otto Wallin, if you've seen him fight against Francis Naganno, you'll understand what I'm saying. ”
After teaming up with coach Ben Davidson, the 35-year-old is enjoying a second spring in his career, and his improvement, especially in the ring, is evident. This is also the source of Eddie Hearn's confidence.
In the "5-on-5" event in Saudi Arabia on June 1, Eddie Hearn's team was swept by Frank Warren's team and did not pick up a victory. Eddie Hearn is also looking to save face in September.
