Promoter Eddie Hearn believes that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury could soon be a dream fight made into reality

Hearn told Sky Sports he would “kick himself” if Joshua and Fury never fought, calling it the “biggest fight in boxing”.

Joshua has not boxed since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois a year ago, while Fury’s last outing was in December 2024 in a second successive points loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury announced his retirement after that defeat but Hearn is hopeful the unified heavyweight champion will launch a comeback.

The Matchroom chairman said: “It would be a real, real shame if Tyson and AJ never fought.

“I don’t really have many regrets but I think we would always kick ourselves if we never saw that fight. It’s the biggest fight in boxing.

Former undisputed champion Lennox Lewis is keen on the possibility of a Fury-Joshua showdown, saying the ‘whole world’ wants to see it

“You can’t even compare anything that we’ve done so far – Carl Froch-George Groves, AJ-Wladimir Klitschko, Benn-Eubank. This is just completely different.

“It shuts down the country. They’re two very different but great fighters, two great personalities, two completely different individuals. For me, it’s a must.”

“Tell me a bigger fight in boxing? It doesn’t exist. It’s not just fighting and beating Fury for AJ. It’s just giving the British public what they’ve wanted for so long.”

Tyson Fury was asked when we can next expect him in the ring…

‘AJ is fired up and we still believe he’s got a lot to give’

Joshua called Fury “dippy” during a recent social media post and Hearn insists that shows how much the 35-year-old wants to fight Fury.

Hearn says Joshua would be looking for a tune-up bout in January or February and expects Fury to want one, too, before a potential all-British showdown.
