Eddie Hearn for Wilder-Fury: The winner has to fight Anthony Joshua

Eddie Hearn thinks that the winner of the rematch between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder cannot avoid a unification fight with Anthony Joshua.

“The winner has to fight Anthony Joshua, there’s no doubt about it,” he said. “Fury is talking a brilliant game for this fight and he’s an excellent self-promoter. The fact is, we have made offers to Fury and Wilder of 60 per cent to 40 per cent way before they were as relevant as they are now and they both turned it down.”

“60-40 is what we offered to both and they wanted 50-50. Maybe we will have to make that offer next, but there’s no point talking about a deal until that fight is over – but when that fight is over we have got to get it made.”

There is a clause in the fight contract between Wilder and Fury that a third fight will take place later in the year.

“We believe Joshua is the best fighter in the world, Fury believes he’s the best in the world, Wilder believes it as well,” said Hearn. “Everybody has got their opinions but the proof is in the pudding.”

“Wilder vs. Fury doesn’t tell you who the best heavyweight in the world is, the winner of that fight against AJ tells you who the best heavyweight in the world is and we have to see it.”
