Eddie Hearn does not believe that Tyson Fury will retire from boxing and has stated that he is sure that he will face the winner of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout later this year. Joshua's promoter Hearn has all but confirmed that Joshua vs Usyk 2 will take place on July 23 in Saudi Arabia - clashing with UFC London.
It's a rematch of their first fight when Usyk defeated Joshua comfortably via points in the first meeting back, stripping Joshua of his three titles and pushing a heavyweight unification bout further into the horizon. He must now defeat Usyk to get his career back on track.
Meanwhile, the holder of all the other heavyweight belts, Fury, confirmed that he will retire from boxing after his knockout victory over Dillian Whyte last month. Fury has since doubled and tripled down on his intentions to do so - stating he will only return to the ring for exhibition bouts.
