Is reigning WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury avoiding Anthony Joshua despite his unbeaten record and seeming unbeatable power?
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn thinks so, as he told iFL TV that he would not be surprised if Fury accepted the out-of-nowhere challenge from David Haye.
“I wouldn’t even be surprised if Tyson Fury does it,” he said. “Because it would be a way for him to avoid Anthony Joshua, it would probably make some decent money.”
“Some people are about that life, and some people aren’t,” he added.
Haye, meanwhile, is calling himself the kryptonite of Fury, and he knows how to taint the unblemished record of the Gypsy King.
“I know how to beat Tyson Fury, I do. I’m deadly serious.”
“I understand why he’s so effective, and no one else can see it. I’m good enough still to do it, and I would have done it back in 2013, and he knows it.”
However, promoter Frank Warren assured the fans that Fury is looking forward to the unification bout against Joshua after dealing with Fury on their trilogy.
