EDDIE HEARN admits he wants Tyson Fury to smash Deontay Wilder so The Gypsy King can finally face Anthony Joshua.

WBC heavyweight champ Fury was due to face AJ in a multi-million-pound unification bout in Saudi Arabia last month but was ordered to have a trilogy fight with Wilder.

And Eddie Hearn is hoping Fury wins so a fight with Anthony Joshua can come to fruition

And Joshua’s promoter Hearn is hoping the Wythenshawe warrior will replicate his stoppage of the American next month to preserve the biggest fight in the history of British boxing.

During an appearance on Good Morning Britain: “He [Anthony Joshua] just wants the undisputed championship, so whoever comes through that fight [Fury vs Wilder].

“As a Brit, we hope that Tyson Fury does the business.

“I don’t think he is as well prepared as he was for the second fight, but I still think he has got more than enough ability to beat Deontay Wilder.

“Fingers crossed for an AJ win tomorrow night, fingers crossed for a Tyson Fury win, and then we can see that undisputed fight in early 2022.”

Hearn, 42, first revealed his intention to stage Joshua vs Fury in ‘January or February’ in the summer.

He told iFL TV: “I think that was pretty much the case anyway. But fighting September 25, it’s very difficult to do a fight in December.

“And a lot of our conversations now about the undisputed fight are end of January, February.

“So it probably helps [that Fury-Wilder was postponed]. Fury might’ve wanted to do another fight in November or December.

“And then the whole thing is, like, never-ending.

“I don’t even know if [Fury-Wilder will] happen in October, to be honest with you. Who knows?

“But at least if this fight does happen and AJ beats Usyk successfully, then we’ve bought fought around the same time and then we can try and make the undisputed fight.”

Joshua, 31, is confident he will one day share the ring with Fury, telling the Daily Mail: “It will happen.

“I know what people are saying about boxing politics, but I’ll promise before the end of my career I will have done everything in my power to fight Tyson Fury.

“We saw it with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao (not fighting until they were beyond their primes) but that was a superstar fight.

“Me and Fury is streets, two warriors, two fighters who have come from the amateur system in the UK, and have taken the world by storm. We’ll get it on in Britain.”
