Eddie Hearn, the famous boxing manager, has just declared that the fight between Anthony Joshua (AJ) and Tyson Fury is the biggest fight in boxing history, not only in terms of skill but also in terms of commerce. According to Hearn, both opponent options for Joshua are very viable, but the confrontation with Fury brings superior appeal, both in terms of reputation and profit.
“There’s no bigger fight commercially in boxing than AJ-Fury,” Hearn shared with confidence. He believes that this fight will attract millions of fans around the world and generate huge revenue never seen before.
Tyson Fury, the undefeated WBC champion, and Anthony Joshua, the dominant WBA, IBF, WBO champion, are considered the two biggest stars in heavyweight boxing today. Both have unique fighting styles and huge appeal to the media and fans.
Although Joshua just had an impressive victory over Robert Helenius, Hearn believes that the fight with Fury will mark a major turning point in AJ’s career. “Anthony Joshua is ready to conquer the next level. But if you ask me which fight the world wants to see, it’s definitely AJ-Fury,” Hearn added.
In addition to Tyson Fury, another option for Joshua is Deontay Wilder, an American boxer with devastating power and formidable knockout skills. However, Hearn insists that Wilder cannot match Fury in terms of public interest. “Wilder is a dangerous opponent, but Fury is a global brand. A fight with Fury would be a spectacle that no one could miss,” he stressed.
If the AJ-Fury fight does happen, it will be a historic, iconic boxing event for a generation. It will not only be a title fight, but also a showdown to determine who is the true ‘king’ of the heavyweight division. With two of the best individuals facing off, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the day it becomes a reality.
With the potential to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in profits and unprecedented appeal, the Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury fight would be more than just a sporting event, it would be a pop culture phenomenon. Eddie Hearn, with his confidence and experience, is doing everything he can to make this dream come true. Will Joshua face Fury or will he choose another path? Time will tell, but fans are certain that AJ-Fury is the fight the world wants to see.
