Eddie Hearn reveals Anthony Joshua’s ‘reaction’ to Tyson Fury’s retirement and it speaks volumes
Eddie Hearn has revealed how Anthony Joshua has reacted to Tyson Fury’s retirement.
Eddie Hearn has revealed Anthony Joshua’s ‘reaction’ to Tyson Fury’s shock retirement from boxing.
On Monday, Fury stunned the world of boxing after announcing his retirement from the sport in the wake of his second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
His latest retirement comes amid supposed talks over an all-British showdown against Joshua, who called for a fight at the Ring Magazine awards in London last Saturday.
“It’s a fight I want to see because I am a fan of boxing. When I am in the gym, everyone is asking me [about this fight]. I ain’t got many years ahead of me. I want to leave the game with a bang and make an impact,” he said.
“Everyone is asking me the same question. It’s up to me to deliver, that’s why I’m saying it has to happen this year.
“I think we can make this fight happen.”
Fury’s decision to walk away from boxing has scuppered plans for a fight against Joshua, with Matchroom chief Hearn revealing that his fighter has not said a single word since his rival’s retirement.
Hearn hasn’t heard from Joshua about Fury’s retirement, suggesting ‘AJ’ isn’t bothered by the ‘Gypsy King’s actions as he focuses on his own career.
On Fury’s retirement, he told iFL TV: “Listen, one… we don’t really take it too seriously. Two… if it is serious there’s nothing we can do about it anyway. What do you think goes on, do you think Josh is going to phone me up and go, ‘Oh Ed have you seen the news mate’. He’s not that kind of guy.”

Asked if has received any comment from Joshua since Fury’s retirement, Hearn replied: “Not one,” before explaining: “He could have been doing it because he’s got the ump. He could have been doing it for some attention. He could have been doing it because it’s true. What’s the point in guessing.”
Talks of Fury vs. Joshua had been mooted following their respective defeats to Usyk and Daniel Dubois.
But it appears a clash between the two British stars won’t be happening anytime soon.
