Last week we saw the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury make real steps towards achieving his goal of returning to the squared circle when he came to the end of his ongoing battle with UKAD.
The 29-year old RING magazine Lineal world heavyweight champion is now planning his projected path back to glory and he has been very vocal in his scathing assessment of ‘AJ’ recently.
He has now locked his eyes on the potential opposition and Eddie Hearn has shared that Tyson Fury believes he is worth more than a 50-50 split with Anthony Joshua, the man who holds three of the belts that Fury had previously held.
The 29-year-old is targeting the biggest fighters in the heavyweight division and believes Joshua is not the invincible champion many fans believe him to be. But Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn says Fury needs to be more realistic in his demands.
“There are only two reasons [Joshua vs Fury] doesn’t happen. The first is that Tyson Fury has lost all sense of reality for a deal for that fight with AJ,” Hearn told ESPN.
“It’s one thing doing 40 minutes on the cross trainer – I can do that – but it’s another doing a proper camp, that’s when we will find out if he can hold up.”
“He went over on his ankle in one camp in June 2016, when he was preparing for the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko that never came to fruition and he stopped boxing.”
“I think there’s a chance for it for the end of the year.”
“In an ideal world, AJ would fight three times against Parker, Wilder and Fury.”
“That’s a dreamland scene but we must fight two of those so if Fury has to wait, then it will be spring 2019 and Anthony is fine with that,” Hearn concluded.
