    Interesting, hope he doesn't sign with Hearn. Fury needs to sign with Top Rank or at least with Haymon if he wants to stay as a free agent. Fran Warren is an option as well.

    didn't he just sign with some smallish promoter?

    I know he signed with MTK but that's just an advisory and managerial company, they are not promoters.

    Signing with Hearn would make sense as he's UK based and it would most likely guarantee the Joshua fight which obviously is the huge money fight he is aiming for. But if I was him I'd want some assurances before signing. I'd want a contractual agreement to fight Joshua within a certain time frame. A guaranteed minimum for each fight with a minimum number of fights per year so he isn't side lined doing nothing and then fed to Joshua unprepared.

    I hope he doesn't sign with Haymon. Haymon doesn't care about making good fights that's pretty clear he just likes to milk titles. Even if he gets and beats Wilder I think he'd be a big problem in making a Joshua fight.

    I thought he was pretty solidly with Warren.

    Hearn... that would surprise me given Fury’s personality. I don’t think he would go with Hearn.

    Not seen anything to suggest he's signed with Warren, so not sure why he would as Warren has no established top heavyweights in his stable. Though his friend Billy Joe Saunders is with Warren so that's a possible reason why if BJS is happy with Warren as a promoter.

    It's clear who he needs to go to,Hearn.Fury and Hearn will be a Brilliant Combination and if he does return he will be back on Sky which will immediately put him back in the British Spotlight and is only possible if he signs with Hearn.Warren is a option but he is just so bland and tame,and it creates a obstacle of BT being involved with Fury.So if Fury v Joshua tries to get made surely BT would want it,but obviously Sky wont want that.If he stays with Hennesy he will fight on youtube as he has no TV deal.Al haymon,Top Rank all foreign and have no intrest in the HW Divison.Wilder and Al Haymon dont want any Unifications.Hearn best Choice.

    Then the obvious answer is Hearn.

    Eddie already carefully suggested between the lines that he could pull some strings to help Fury out with that pesky UKAD situation and getting his licence back.
    And then the extremely lucrative Joshua fight will probably be a done deal, no matter what shape Fury comes back in.

    If Fury was to sign with Warren, things might get quite a bit harder for him.

    Hearn wants to manage him. He will have a promotor in Mick Hennesey unless Mick cannot get him the big purses or fights.

    One thing is for sure though; given Hearn's clout with Sky and BBBoC I guarantee Fury would have had all these issues disappear before they even started.

    Hearn is a guy you want in your corner.

    I think signing Hearn would be best for his career but have a feeling he won't sign with Matchroom, maybe Warren instead.

    Why no Duco on the list? They have 100% of their fighters holding World titles.

    Hearn, as long as he can get the guarantees @Brighton bomber mentioned. He's a pretty big name in the UK despite (because of?) the controversies, and can still be a big star if he keeps himself together.

    Hearn is not a good option he will try to rush fury to fight aj

    Eddie loves a pound note he sees money if he manages to sign fury he will get 40 percent from both fighters paycheck 20 percent each i mean ****ing hell and the fight could easily do 2 mill if hyped correctly and built
