Tyson Fury has been told to fight unbeaten heavyweight Filip Hrgovic after his potential fights against Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua fell through.
'The Gypsy King' was set to meet fellow heavyweight champion Usyk in an undisputed clash on April 29 but the two parties failed to reach an agreement. Fury then sent a draft contract to domestic rival Joshua for a September meeting, but Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn denied ever receiving the proposal.
Hearn has now told Fury that he should fight Hrgovic whilst waiting for a blockbuster fight against the likes of Usyk or Joshua. "When you look at the rankings, say you’re playing matchmaker for Tyson Fury. If AJ fights Dillian Whyte then Wilder and Usyk fights Dubois. I’ll tell you if he wants, he can fight Filip Hrgovic. If he is looking for an opponent, we've got the Hrgovic fight " Hearn told Boxing Social.
