Anthony Joshua And Tyson Fury’s Fight Can Happen In 2023 – Eddie Hearn

Popular boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn has come out to say that Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury could finally happen in February, 2022.

He recently revealed this to the press, and the world has been reacting.

According to him, the highly sought after fight can be revived if both of them can come through their respected challenges unscathed, with February being seen as the new date.

He added that the fight would simply be about generating as much money as possible.

His words, “We wanted to do it in December.”

“But I think with AJ fighting September 25, Fury now delayed until October, I think February is more realistic.”

“They had a huge offer from Saudi Arabia to do the fight there.”

“Ultimately in the fight game, which is extremely dangerous and these guys are putting themselves on the line, it is about generating as much money for the fight as possible.”

“With fans back in the UK is that an option? Las Vegas? We’ll see.”

“But first things first, let’s just beat Usyk, because if that doesn’t go to plan we can forget about it.”

“No, I haven’t had any talks with anyone because I don’t want to waste my time.”

“I spent six months wasting my time so let’s get these fights out of the way and let’s see what happens.”

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, OBE (born 15 October 1989) is a British professional boxer who is a two-time unified heavyweight champion, having held the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO titles since December 2019 and previously between 2016 and June 2019. At regional level, he held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles from 2014 to 2016.

Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua was born on 15 October 1989 in Watford, Hertfordshire, the son of Yeta and Robert Joshua. His mother is Nigerian, while his father is of Nigerian and Irish ancestry. Joshua’s Nigerian background can be specifically traced back to the Yoruba people, amongst whom he is of aristocratic rank.

His cousin, Ben Ileyemi, is also a professional boxer. The pair made their professional debuts together in 2013. Joshua spent some of his early years in Nigeria as a boarding school student at Mayflower School in Ikenne.

Following his parents’ divorce when he was 12, he returned to the UK halfway through Year Seven to join Kings Langley Secondary School. Growing up on the Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire, he was called “Femi” by his friends and former teachers, due to his middle name, Oluwafemi. He excelled at football and athletics and broke his school’s Year Nine 100 m record with a time of 11.6 seconds.
