Eddie Hearn has predicted that Tyson Fury could still fight against Anthony Joshua despite a breakdown in talks between Fury and his client in September.
Talks started promisingly between Joshua and Fury, with contracts reportedly being exchanged before Fury issued an ultimatum which was not met by Joshua's team. Fury was reported to be keen on facing 'AJ' on either November 26th or December 3rd, just over three months after Joshua's loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
Failure to agree a deal with Joshua has led Fury to make a deal to fight against Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3rd. The fight against Chisora is a surprise, with the 38-year-old the 14th ranked contender for Fury's WBC belt having lost three of his last five fights.
