Hearn dismisses Fury talk of Joshua no-show for super fight
Eddie Hearn says Fury has a history of pulling out, while both heavyweights face must-win tune-ups before a proposed November bout.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn dismissed Tyson Fury's recent doubts regarding a proposed fight with Anthony Joshua, insisting the 'Battle of Britain' remains viable if both boxers successfully navigate their warm-up bouts this week.
- Fury faces Poland's Mariusz Wach on Friday in Thailand, while Joshua meets Albania's Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday. Both bouts serve as essential warm-ups before their potential November clash.
- Hearn questioned Fury's reliability, telling Sky Sports, "Look at history," and noting Joshua has "fought every contender he could have." Hearn contrasted this with Fury's prior withdrawal from a fight due to an arbitration ruling involving Deontay Wilder.
- Saturday's bout marks Joshua's return following a December 29 car crash in Nigeria that killed his coach Sina Ghami and trainer Latif 'Latz' Ayodele. Joshua told the BBC he is still struggling to process the loss.
- Beyond the Joshua fight, Fury claimed the former champion is "past his best" and is focused on prospect Moses Itauma, who faces Filip Hrgovic on August 29 to test his heavyweight title readiness.
