This. Hearn is no dummy. He knows even if Fury loses to Usyk (he will) there’s still big money in a AJ vs Fury fight. Loser is done and will collect a nice retirement check worth multi millions of dollars. Winner lives to fight in one more big fight.
So, they expect Usyk to rematch Fury, but if Fury wins(slim chance) Fury can go right to AJ? These dudes are pathetic.
Eddie Hearn was sitting on Fury's table at the presser. Disgusting rat of a man. AJ fight is dead regardless. Fury is just pulling them along for the bants. Fury Dubious is a better fight....
Hearn was sitting at the table because he as a big role involved in Riyadh Season events. He asked to not be there but Frank Warren and Spencer Brown insisted he did.
It's his route to undisputed if he cares for it I don't think he does. Beating Usyk is more important than any belt, accolade, title, money anything and Fury deep down believes that. A good fair fight with a good fair fighter.
At the end of the day, both Joshua and Hearn know there is a very high chance he gets battered off Dubois in a rematch, a 20-80 fight. They know a Fury fight is more of a 40-60 fight, with twice the pay, and the possibility of Joshua becoming the lineal heavyweight champion for the 1st time in his entire career. Hearn is a complete rat, but hes not stupid, he knew this was the best route to go down from the very second Joshua got embarrassingly annihilated by Dubois. He pretended Joshua wanted a Dubois rematch for his gullable fans to cling on too but that was never ever going to happen, I called it from day 1.
Fury and Dan batter AJ. And I like AJ. Avoiding DD and fighting Fury makes loads of sense because DD is garlic cloves and a silver bullet for AJ....
