Tyson Fury's dad John offers to fight Eddie Hearn on Anthony Joshua undercard

John Fury has hilariously declared that he wants to fight promoter Eddie Hearn for free. The 58-year-old, dad of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson, has grown frustrated after talks between Fury and Anthony Joshua’s camp appear to have broken down.

Fury Jr reached out to Joshua after his rematch defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August, offering the two-time heavyweight king another shot at redemption on December 3. Should the two boxers ever meet, the bout is expected to be the biggest fight in British boxing history.

Despite a loose agreement being reached for the showdown to take place in Cardiff, discussions - as is often the case - fell through. The Gypsy King originally placed a 10-day deadline for the fight to be confirmed before U-turning 48 hours later.
