Tyson Fury was trying to phone Anthony Joshua after win over Dillian Whyte

Tyson Fury called Eddie Hearn to ask for Anthony Joshua's phone number as he celebrated his win over Dillian Whyte.

Fury stopped Whyte in the sixth round of their clash at Wembley to successfully defend his heavyweight world title in front of 94,000 fans. The 33-year-old celebrated his victory at a party with his family the following day - during which he video-called Hearn.

And the promoter, who represents former champion Joshua, revealed Fury was keen to speak to his rival. "He FaceTimed me non-stop but I couldn't really hear him because he was drinking and I was in a restaurant," Hearn told The DAZN Boxing Show. "I just said well done, I think he was trying to call AJ and he was asking me for his number. He was harassing everyone and having a few drinks to celebrate."
