Joshua 'extremely interested' in Fury fight if Wilder agrees 'step aside' deal - Eddie Hearn

Anthony Joshua would welcome a fight against Tyson Fury next, says Eddie Hearn

Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua would be "extremely interested" in a Tyson Fury fight, if a "step aside" deal can be reached with Deontay Wilder to allow an undisputed fight to happen.

Joshua's scheduled world title defence against Kubrat Pulev on June 20th is likely to be pushed back due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, while Wilder has activated a clause for a third fight against Fury, which has already been delayed until an expected date in October.

But Hearn believes the ongoing uncertainty about this year's fight schedule might prompt Fury's promoters to strike an agreement with Wilder's team that would clear the way for discussions about a blockbuster battle between Britain's world champions.
