Eddie Hearn was called out to an undercard fight by John Fury
AJ has had the contract for almost two weeks with broadcasters DAZN, BT Sport and ESPN also thrashing out a network deal.
But Hearn insisted the paperwork is not yet ready to be signed as they go through the finer terms and conditions.
So Fury’s dad is willing to do whatever it takes to get an agreement over the line – even if that means getting in a fight himself.
He told the Daily Mail, via Free Bets: “Whatever they say they can have. I will fight Eddie Hearn on the undercard if they want that as well.
“I will fight AJ’s promoter on the undercard. I will do that for free.
“If they sign the contract today I will box Eddie Hearn on the undercard for free. OK?”
Joshua, 32, suffered consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 35, most recently in August in Saudi Arabia.
Usyk was in line to unify his belts against Fury, 34, but the Ukrainian ruled himself out until next year to recover from injuries.

That caused AJ to receive a surprise WBC title fight offer after accepting to concede a 60/40 financial split.
But John still doubts that Joshua truly wants to face his son, having failed to return the contract.
He said: “I think Joshua’s sort of like getting doubts about fighting the Gypsy King.
“You know they’ve had that contract now, for well over a month. Nothing’s happened.
“But what they want, you see, is a to and fro for next two years or twelve months.
“Twelve months or two years back and forth, like they did with Deontay Wilder.
“We don’t want that. Tyson’s capped it off and put a deadline on it as he wants it signed up.
“He wants to get in camp, and then get it under way. Get the fight on and give the fans what they want. We aren’t interested in back and fros.”

Punching Techniques

A strong uppercut for example requires a lot of force. A straight punch on the other side requires less power, but is more effective than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
Boxers must use their legs to defend themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
