Eddie Hearn believes Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury is still the biggest fight in boxing
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are two of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the world. Both fighters have been world champions and have dominated boxing for a long time. Eddie Hearn, who promotes Joshua, believes the fight between the two is still the biggest in boxing, despite both facing losses in their previous outings.
During a recent interview with iFL TV, Hearn opened up about the fighting future of Joshua. He said:
"The Fury fight is there. We appreciate that it might not be as big as it could have been, but it's still the biggest fight in boxing... Tell me a bigger fight in boxing? It doesn't exist. 'AJ' vs. Fury is the biggest fight in the sport of boxing.
"Once the dust settles, I guess it's up to me and Frank [Warren] and Spencer [Warren] to say, 'Guys, what are you thinking?' Right now, I doubt that Fury is thinking about fighting again."
