Eddie Hearn Demands: Joshua vs Fury Is Boxing’s Ultimate Clash, and the World Can’t Be Denied It
Eddie Hearn on Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury: “I don’t really have many regrets but I think we would always kick ourselves if we never saw that fight. For me, it’s a must. Tell me a bigger fight in boxing?” – Hearn says AJ is “fired up” and “has a lot to give”
Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports he would “kick himself” if Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury never fought, calling it the “biggest fight in boxing”.
Joshua has not boxed since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois a year ago, while Fury’s last outing was in December 2024 in a second successive points loss to Oleksandr Usyk
Fury announced his retirement after that defeat but Hearn is hopeful the unified heavyweight champion will launch a comeback

The Matchroom chairman said: “It would be a real, real shame if Tyson and AJ never fought.
“I don’t really have many regrets but I think we would always kick ourselves if we never saw that fight. It’s the biggest fight in boxing.
“You can’t even compare anything that we’ve done so far – Carl Froch-George Groves, AJ-Wladimir Klitschko, Benn-Eubank. This is just completely different.
“It shuts down the country. They’re two very different but great fighters, two great personalities, two completely different individuals. For me, it’s a must.”
“Tell me a bigger fight in boxing? It doesn’t exist. It’s not just fighting and beating Fury for AJ. It’s just giving the British public what they’ve wanted for so long.”
