Undoubtedly, the expectations for seeing a match between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, the two great world champions that the heavyweight division has, have increased considerably after the latest statements by Eddie Hearn, the promoter who seems to have the key to make this happen.
However, he clarified that first, both boxers have assumed commitments. For Joshua, the defense of their titles against the Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev; for Fury, granting Deontay Wilder what will be the third of the face-to-face confrontations.

“We have no problem signing right now to fight Tyson Fury in 2021”Eddie Hearn expressed in dialogue with Sky Sports, confirming the intentions for the combat to take place, but ruling out that this could happen this year.
And it is that the promoter was in charge of clarifying that taking into account the extraordinary conditions that have arisen this year because of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and the great physical effort that it takes for his fighter to prepare each fight, Joshua will fight only once in this 2020.
Of course, Eddie Hearn is not an entrepreneur who likes to disappoint fans, who he understands as allies as necessary for success as the fighters themselves, and he slipped that in 2021 they could make up for them with not just one but two face to face between Joshua and Fury.
