Rumors have it that heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua plans to fight Oleksandr Usyk, not Tyson Fury, in his next fight if Joshua beats Kubrat Pulev on Saturday night in London.
Not so, says promoter Eddie Hearn, who handles Joshua.
In this episode of the Ak & Barak Show, DAZN commentators Akin Reyes and Barak Bess discussed that topic with Hearn, who said Joshua’s intention is to face Fury in a title-unification fight, not Usyk in defense of his WBO title.
Here’s what Hearn had to say.
The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
