Eddie Hearn gives interesting update on potential Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fightDAZN

Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has not completely dismissed the idea of his fighter facing WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury later this year. 

With a fight against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title delayed until 2023, Fury has turned his attention to his British rival by issuing a challenge on social media this past Monday.

As expected, this back and forth has whipped British boxing fans into a frenzy, and there is a chance a fight between Fury and Joshua could be made according to Hearn. 

"Fury’s outstanding at getting the public to believe absolute nonsense," Hearn told talkSPORT

“It worries me actually what people do believe, if you look at the timeline over the last two or three weeks, it’s unbelievably bizarre.

“Personally, I don’t believe Fury is serious about this, but if he is, which I said to the Warrens last night, 100 percent we will sit down and make the fight.”
