Tyson Fury can “put us out of our misery” by confirming his return for a fight against Anthony Joshua, explains the promoter Eddie Hearn.
Fury teased a return to social networks after announcing his retirement in the aftermath of his revenge defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in December in Saudi Arabia.
Hearn confirmed that Joshua needs a lock hole operation on his elbow, but insists that there is a “clear path” to make British blockbuster once his fighter is entirely in good shape.
“I have the impression that Tyson Fury is really a little tease, right? I mean, everything we see on Instagram is him,” said Hearn Sky Sports.
“Even today, I got out of the press conference, I went to Instagram, he is there with his envelopes to make 12 boxing cycles. Why do you do this? What are you doing? Do you deliberately play with our minds or are you coming back?
“Let us know anyway. Put us out of our misery.
“Listen, AJ must undergo a small lock hole surgery on his elbow. He will be back after September. This is, right? Let’s just do this.
“When we talk about great fights, this fight is the biggest fight, not only in British boxing, in world boxing, a mile. And I just have the impression that it is time. It’s time.
“We depend on Tyson Fury. We are ready to leave, but obviously, it must be comfortable. He must be ready for that.
“It’s such and such competitive, and I just know in his mind, he will want to dance with Anthony Joshua. So dust these shoes and do this.”
Hearn thinks that Fury vs Joshua is easier to do than ever, after having established a solid working relationship with the promoter Rival Frank Warren, who represents Fury.
Joshua – Who lost against Daniel Dubois in September – and Fury no longer has world titles that could further simplify negotiations.
“Honestly, a telephone call,” said Hearn. “Previously, one had a belt, one was the challenger.
“One was unified, me and Frank Warren have never spoken, Tyson Fury has not been mounted. This ship has sailed now. It’s really a phone call, just to say:” Here are the terms. You are not both champions right now, but you are both huge stars. Let’s go and do it and do it “.
“This is why I want now, everything that happened in the past-and I am not saying that it is someone’s fault. This is probably our whole fault in a certain way-forget that. We now have the way to get there. We have seen with Benn-Eubank how these all-brain-British fights can be great.
“It was just an unforgettable night. It is twice as size. The fingers crossed, but I’m quietly confident.”
If Fury resists the temptation to make a return this year, Hearn suggested that Joshua could rather continue a fight against Dillian Whyte or Daniel Dubois, who faces USYK during a revenge of Wembley in July.
“We have Dubois and Usyk on July 19. If Daniel Dubois was to win the undisputed, I am sure that J would also like a crack. So, Dubois, Fury, perhaps another fight with another competitor.
“Dillian Whyte made his announcement. He also comes back in June. I don’t know.
“I know that a thing in AJ’s mind is Tyson Fury. But it’s a bit out of our hands.”
