After defeating WBC forced challenger Dillian White with great ease last week and defending his WBC heavyweight World Champion title for the second time, Tyson Fury's subsequent career development has become a point of contention throughout the European and American boxing community. But for now, almost no one takes Tyson Fury's announcement of his retirement seriously and predicts his opponent for the next game.
In an interview, Dillian White and tournament promoter Eddie Hearn of former heavyweight world boxing champion Anthony Joshua made it clear that they did not believe Tyson Fury would deliver on his promise to retire — at least not in the near future.
This week, Eddie Hearn gave the MMA Hour, in which Eddie Hearn told reporters that Tyson Fury would not leave the boxing scene so soon.
Eddie Hearne told reporters: "I really don't believe anything he says, now Tyson Fury has the ability to do anything in the heavyweights, to play any opponent. Of course, the final decision is in the hands of Tyson Fury, and if Tyson Fury is determined to give up boxing, let him go. After all, it's a very hard sport. Tyson Fury made a lot of money from boxing and won almost all the honors. So if he likes to retire like this, I wish him the best of luck. However, I think there is still the most important game waiting for him in front of him, the kind of game that will remember the history of boxing. ”
"There are a lot of people who now think of Tyson Fury as an epoch-making boxer, a better boxer than his fellow Lennox Lewis. Yes, he probably could. But he hasn't fully proven that yet. If, I mean, Tyson Fury beat Anthony Joshua in later matches, or beat Olek Sandel Usik, or defeated the other boxers to unify the entire heavyweight, and had the world champion gold belt of the four major organizations of WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC, then he would be enough to replace Lennox Lewis as a great figure in the history of boxing. Eddie Hearn explained to reporters.
"If we look at his resume alone, Anthony Joshua's resume is also great. But is he a big man in the heavyweight class who can already be remembered in the annals of history? Obviously not, but if Anthony Joshua defeats Oleksandr Usik and succeeds in revenge. Then defeat Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua can become a great man unprecedented in the entire history of boxing. That's what Anthony Joshua is now pursuing. To be honest, I'd love to see Tyson Fury at his peak and Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usik, which is a blessing for the whole sport of boxing. Eddie Hearne added.
However, although Eddie Hearn pays lip service to the hope that Tyson Fury will face off against two of his boxers (Eddie Hearn is the joint tournament promoter of Olek Sandel Usik). But in fact, Eddie Hearn himself has no bottom, and he is more convinced that Tyson Fury and UFC heavyweight champion Francis Nagano are more likely to have a crossover competition.
Eddie Hearne's suspicions seemed well-founded, as Francis Nagano first entered the boxing ring to congratulate Tyson Fury after Tyson Fury defeated Dillian White, and he was very direct in asking about the possibility of a crossover match.
However, it is not easy to promote the match between Tyson Fury and Francis Nagano, first of all, the UFC contract is very restrictive to his own boxers, and UFC chairman Dana Bai and Tyson Fury joint event promoter Bob Arum have been at odds.
But Eddie Hearn believes that these difficulties may be overcome in the face of huge benefits.
Eddie Hearne told reporters: "It's going to be a big fight. I know there will be a lot of difficulties in this game, but there is always a solution to the problem, francis Nagano has always said that he is free and not bound by the contract. If they want to play, they can be operated by Bai Da Dai alone, or they can be operated by us and Bai Da Da Together. What the future holds, I'm really not sure, in short, there are all possibilities. ”
