Eddie Hearn has admitted that it "would have been great" to get a chance to work with Tyson Fury before the heavyweight's retirement.
The Matchroom Boxing boss turned down the opportunity to work with Fury after he had been stripped of his belts following a famous win over Wladimir Klitschko and ballooned to over 400lb. After meeting with the heavyweight at his worst, Hearn believed that Fury would never box again, let alone at the world level.
But within months of his comeback, Fury had taken on Deontay Wilder in Los Angeles, going the distance and drawing with the unbeaten American in a fight that many felt he won. After a few more bouts, Fury took the world title from his rival, cementing his place as one of the greats of his era.
