Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua: Eddie Hearn hopes to make undisputed title fight this year

Eddie Hearn is hoping to make Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua finally happen this December for the undisputed heavyweight title.

Joshua will first have to get through the unbeaten former cruiserweight and current unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk this summer, having lost their first meeting. But if he can pick up another redemptive Saudi Arabian win, Joshua's promoter wants the Watford native to face Fury before the year is out.

The two-time heavyweight champion lost his belts for the second time back in September against Usyk, but immediately activated his contractually obligated rematch. But the war in Ukraine caused the fight to be delayed, before contractual issues that are now said to have moved the event again from July 23 to the middle of August.
