Eddie Hearn leaks Tyson Fury subsequent opponent announcement
The WBC champion was final in motion again in December and has since seen talks to battle Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua break down.
Promoter Frank Warren insists the ‘Gypsy King’ is to not blame for that, citing Usyk’s obvious refusal to battle what would have been an undisputed conflict in England in favour of a big-money deal in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua hit out at the likes of Fury and Deontay Wilder for the inactivity that has plagued boxing’s most iconic division as he gears up for an additional instalment of his grudge match in opposition to Dillian Whyte.
The two will meet at London’s 02 Arena in August, two weeks earlier than Usyk defends his unified world heavyweight titles in opposition to Daniel Dubois.
While any assembly between Fury and Ngannou would probably entice eyeballs, it’ll unlikely quench the collective thirst of battle followers desperate to see the undisputed battle with Usyk.
Speaking to IFLTV, Hearn stated: “Fury is fighting Ngannou.
“That will be announced, I think in Saudi, [either] today or tomorrow, whenever it is.”
