Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, says a marriage battle in between his fighter and Tyson Fury “has to happen this year” after the latter produced an incredible efficiency to dismiss Deontay Wilder.
In a much-anticipated rematch in Las Vegas, Fury knocked the formerly unbeaten Wilder down two times and won by means of TKO in the seventh round when the American’s corner surrendered.
Fury now holds the WBC heavyweight strap, simply over 4 years after he sensationally beat Wladimir Klitschko to end up being a world champ for the first time.

The other significant belts in the division belong to Joshua, who avenged his upset loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. in December, and Hearn feels the 2 Britons need to now satisfy in 2020.
Reacting to a Twitter user who composed, “Not a chance Eddie Hearn is letting Joshua anywhere near Tyson now,” the promoter responded: “Of course I am! And AJ wants it bad this fight is gonna and has to happen this year!”

Wilder now has 30 days to require a 3rd battle with Fury through a rematch stipulation, although the one-sided nature of Saturday’s bout would appear to decrease the opportunities of the 2 conference once again.

In a follow- up tweet, Hearn recommended Joshua now represented a much more attracting choice for Fury, offered the winner would end up being the undeniable heavyweight champ of the world.
“No need for a third let’s go straight to it in the Summer! #undisputed,” composed Hearn, while DAZN U.S.A.’s Twitter account shared a mocked-up picture of Fury and Joshua together in the ring.
Reports in current weeks have actually recommended Joshua will return to the ring in June versus Kubrat Pulev in an obligatory title defense.
