Overview
- Eddie Hearn publicly denied reports that a Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight is agreed, calling talk of a signed deal untrue.
- Journalist Gareth A. Davies claimed the bout was signed to air on Netflix, a contention Hearn and other coverage dispute.
- Hearn said only preliminary discussions have restarted and he will join Joshua’s camp next week as talks with Saudi partners, including Sela, are revisited.
- Joshua has returned to work with coach Iegor Golub, with Oleksandr Usyk present in the gym, though Hearn cautioned there is no guarantee of a ring return as his recovery is assessed.
- Hearn indicated any comeback could target late summer if cleared, while Fury’s separate April 11 fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is confirmed; Dillian Whyte has been floated by media as a potential Joshua opponent.
