IgbereTV reports that Eddie Hearn, promoter and agent to Anthony Joshua has revealed the British-Nigerian boxing champion wants to fight Tyson Fury next, after watching Fury sensationally defeat Deontay Wilder in 7 round knock out on Sunday morning at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

It was the second time Fury and Wilder were fighting, after getting a draw in the first clash in December 2018, and with the win Fury now has the WBC heavyweight belt while still retaining the Lineal and Ring magazine heavyweight championship belt.

Fury’s win now means Britain has all the belts in the boxing heavyweight division and Hearn has revealed Joshua wants a unification bout against Fury, a match that if agreed will determine the true king of the heavyweight division.

Wilder has the option to take up a third fight with Fury this summer, but Hearn hopes the American does not do so after he was well and truly destroyed by Fury before his team threw in the towel in the seventh round.

Speaking on the Weekend Sports Breakfast show on Sunday morning, Joshua’s promoter said he will go all out to set up a monster all-British clash next.

“I’ve already spoken to AJ and he wants to go into this fight next,” Matchroom supremo Hearn declared.

“We have to make this fight happen. We will never, ever get the chance for two Brits to fight for an undisputed heavyweight world championship.

“I promise you we will do everything we can to make this fight. It has to happen.”

“I don’t think anyone wants to see a third fight because it was that conclusive but we will see if he exercises that clause."

“I probably expect Wilder to do that – I don’t see where else he has to go.

“But our mandatory [IBF] challenger, Kubrat Pulev, is also promoted by Bob Arum, like Tyson Fury, so there is a very easy manoeuvre there if Wilder doesn’t accept the rematch to go straight into this undisputed fight in the summer. That is what we have to push for initially.

“If Wilder comes back and says ‘no, I’m having my rematch’ then that is due for July or August, AND it doesn’t really matter because we fight Pulev at Spurs in June and this fight happens in November/December. But our preference is to go straight into it because if we went straight into it, it would be undisputed.

“I’ve already spoken to AJ – he wants to go straight into this fight next. He loves the Tyson fight, he has has zero fear of fighting Tyson Fury.

“He has been through everything already and he wants to be undisputed and this is the chance for our sport to have one of those legacy moments that we will never get the opportunity to have again.”

“I heard out of his camp he was going to be aggressive and go for it and I thought it was absolute madness and it ended up being genius from him and his team,” he said.

“Just a wonderful performance. What a time for British boxing – an incredible night.

” I felt like he could school him but I didn’t think he could school him and beat him up, and he did that.”

AJ just write your will before getting into the ring with Fury.

Would love an AJ vs Fury in Nigeria.

ThankGod it's his agent and not him

It will happen


“We have to make this fight happen. We will never, ever get the chance for two Brits to fight for an undisputed heavyweight world championship"

AJ and Fury will be like Kyari and the NSA live on AIT

Can't miss that

Joshua will defeat Fury ....Wilder couldn't because he didn't train hard enough, he was busy creating fight animations on social media, that's why the animated Wilder won on insta and the real Wilder lost

Fury vs wilder was a very classical match with so many fireworks.
Anthony Joshua should just rest his last fight was very dismal and a big let down on the heavyweight boxing world where he was just running around the ring and managing some jabs from time to time

AJ has what it takes except a little "fury"

He needs a little bit of more anger in his fights.

Not all these fine boy swag.

If he can damage klitschko then he can beat fury.
