Eddie Hearn: " If Wilder doesn't win, Usyk or Whyte next"

Honestly they are just keeping their options open. Latest news is that the only fight Usyk would would stay at cruiser for is the Ward fight.

 

I heard rumours of a rematch both ways, but recently I saw an interview with Wilder, and he swerved the question. It could be nothing, but it didn’t look like nothing.

 

I will repeat, there is no rematch clause for Tyson Fury.

 

There were quite a few rumours going around about how great the contract it is for both of them including even split and 2 way rematch clause but at the same time both fighters were not allowed to be grilled on whose actually getting what because they both signed a confidentiality clause. After the fight we will hear about how little earnings Fury got from this and that he was not given a rematch clause.

But what happened was some of the things Finkel was very publicly and very loudly complaining about in Hearns contract to Wilder are in this contract to Fury but they know how well that would go down with the haters and more so Eddie Hearn so the simple solution is to add those things anyway and put in a confidentiality clause.

If those contracts were so amazing you would think they would be very very eager to be rubbing into the faces of Hearn and Joshua considering their offers to Deontay were so damn awful.

 

Funniest post of the day.

 

Thank you, but in the days following the fight everything i said will be proven to be true. Well maybe not the money but some of the silly rumoured amounts were 50 million each.

 

They have spoken about the contracts repeatedly.

And you appear to be viewing this fight from Anthony Joshua's perspective. Anthony Joshua has three mandatories to fight every 12 months. His plate is full until he loses or vacates some of his belts.

What you haven't seemed to grasp yet is Wilder and Fury have decided to focus on fighting each other and engaging in a series of fights.

They don't need to rub anything in Anthony Joshua's face. They're on a different path. They've moved on. You haven't.

 

No they weren't.

 

Moved on from what? Anthony Joshua and the rest of the world titles?

 

Good post, all this could happen!

 

There's no way Usyk will fight AJ in his first HW fight.

 

No they weren't what? I said silly rumours i didnt say Wilder, Finkel, Fury or Warren said those things. Just rumours. Although now I think about it im sure those words came out of Deontays mouth.

 

I've said for months that Joshua not fighting Wilder will relegate Joshua to the sidelines, now that Wilder is fighting Fury.

The fights we want is Joshua v Wilder or Fury. If Wilder was willing to fight in the UK, Joshua should have given him what he wanted 50/50, whatever. I get that Joshua has done the hard work of fast tracking his career to the point where je is the big money draw, but having all the belts surely would guarantee he would remain the A side against future opposition.

I can't see Usyk's first fight at HW being Joshua, it's a fight I want to see but the smart thing would be to have at least 1 fight at that weight before taking on the best in the division.

Who wants to see Whyte getting Ko'd again, people will watch it, at least domestically, but we've seen that fight and we can be fairly sure of the outcome.

 

Anthony Joshua is ducking everybody who is not Uysk or Whyte. Everybody.
