Anthony Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has admitted the heavyweight "lost faith" after title-fight negotiations with Tyson Fury collapsed again.
Joshua lost in his revenge bid against Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia back in August, which saw him frozen out of the heavyweight world title picture for the first time in several years. The British star then looked as if he would be handed an opportunity to reclaim a world crown when bitter rival Fury offered him a shot at his WBC crown on December 3.
However, negotiations collapsed despite Joshua accepting the deal, with Derek Chisora instead the new opponent to step up to the plate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And Hearn has admitted the 31-year-old was extremely frustrated with the situation, which saw him miss out on his shot at Fury for the second time.
