“Completely untrue. There is absolutely nothing signed with Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury next. There is nothing agreed,” the boxing promoter told The Stomping Ground.
“There has been conversations, and deep conversations as well, prior to the accident that he was going to fight Jake Paul. Then he was going to fight in February or March, in Saudi Arabia. Then he was going to fight Tyson Fury. Nothing signed. And then obviously the accident happened.”
Despite denying Davies’ information, Hearn conceded that the blockbuster clash is not ruled out.
Talks continue despite early-stage uncertainty
Hearn confirmed the idea of Joshua facing Fury is still on the cards.
Discussions are expected to resume as Joshua prepares to return to training, with key stakeholders involved in mapping out his next move.
“I will go into camp with Anthony Joshua next week when he starts, and we will start having conversations about what is next. Those conversations will go in tandem with Turki Alalshikh, and Sela, and everybody to see the position regarding a Tyson Fury fight,” Hearn revealed.
He added: “We are more than up for that fight, but AJ needs to go back into camp and we need to understand physically how long it will take him to return to boxing. And we are not rushing him and he ain’t rushing himself. So it’s quite likely that return will come at the back end of the summer.”
