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

“If Wilder doesn’t win”.. so if Fury wins they are looking at Usyk or Whyte? What about the WBC/Lineal champ.. what about all the belts?

Usyk - clearly won’t be next, Hearn just tryna act on the hype round Usyk atm

Whyte - I guess Whyte has earned a shot. But as a fan I want Joshua v wilder/fury winner no ifs no buts..

 

I think they will make the Wilder fight if he wins in devastating fashion killing a Fury rematch. There'll be too much demand and money to be made, perfect timing really.

If not and Wilder loses then there will prob be a rematch, Fury v Joshua is a bigger nightmare to make than Wilder and won't happen so take them out and Joshua will fight the Whyte winner or if Chisora wins then probably Miller.

If Chirora wins I can see him doing Chisora v Usyk on PPV. If not then Usyk probably fights the Takam/Price winner as first fight at heavyweight.

After that I think he'll try and convince Pulev to fight Usyk for the IBF mandatory but if he can't convince him then he'll do Joshua v Pulev. Then Joshua v Usyk after that.

If guess his perfect hopes for his heavyweights is:

Whyte beats Chisora
Takam beats Price

Joshua beats Whyte
Usyk beats Takam
Miller fights Ortiz

Joshua beats Miller/Ortiz
Usyk beats Pulev
(or he does that the other way round)

Joshua beats Miller/Usyk/Ortiz.

 

WBO mandatory comes before the IBF I think?

 

AJ is facing Whyte as always planned. No ifs, no buts unless shot Chisora somehow beats him. In that case, Big Baby will step in.

Wilder, after decapitating Fury, will face Ortiz in a rematch PPV hence why grandpa Ortiz is being fed stiffs so he doesn't lose.

End thread.

 

This is what I see happening

Fury wins in December

Fury-Wilder rematch in 2019

Joshua-Whyte April 2019

Usyk - Chisora May/June 2019

Usyk - Joshua September 2019

Fury - Joshua early 2020

Basically, if Fury wins, it wrecks everything.

 

Ha ha come now, utter bs of the highest order! Both Wilder and Fury are deep green with envy for Joshua and it's painfully obvious from all their interviews.
As for 'moving on' , what drivel!
Moving on from the king-pin of the division, to where exactly? Second best? How noble.
I suppose you'll try and convince me Joshua is a cherry-picking duck and is a coward who won't fight or test himself.
The hate for AJ is so ridiculous on here it's actually laughable.

AJ is the first fighter in history to cherry-pick fighters from The Ring top 3 and duck anyone who isn't his mandatory.
What a coward, slave, hyped-up, robot, talentless fraud!
Anyone who believes he has actually boxed any notable opponents is a Hearn-bum-boy shill, sheep, DKSAB, gullible casual: FACTS.

 

Tyson Fury would be Usyk's worst nightmare.
He's everyones worst nightmare. 6"9 and can box
It's like messing with your little brother.
He will rule for as long as he can be bothered

 

Wilder can't generate money outside Joshua or Fury as opponents that's why...it's common sense.

Wilder avoided Joshua bc he couldn't get a two fight deal and not so confident in winning , with Fury he gets two paydays as poor as they will or won't be it's more then he's used to.

 

6'7 and a quarter.

This 6'9 myth needs to be put to rest.

 

Laughable. Ali wasn't the champion in any of those fights but he was the draw. Joshua is both and if you think the splits would be 50/ 50 in today's more educated world your more insane than I thought...lol

I'm sure Wilder would definitely want mutual appreciation for his and Joshuas career and want a generated JOSHUA split...sure why not that's why the fight hasn't happened anyway in the first place since wacky Wilder demands of 50% before negotiations even began!

 

I think Usyk might be a bit of a nightmare for Fury tbh. Not to say he beats him and especially if Fury is on his best form and in shape but Fury had struggled with smaller fighters before, dropped heavy by Cunning ham and went life and death, winning effectively with an illegal punch and lost the first fight to John McDermott and was gifted by the judges.

Both guys were 6'3'' who could get under Fury and catch with shots coming upwards that he didn't see coming, Fury deals with bigger guys better because they are slower and more robust, he has no problem using his jab and footwork to keep them at range and he can stand his own if it gets to tying up. He struggles more with faster fighters who don't come in straight lines and can get on the inside and throw fast punches at him.

Obviosuly he has improved a lot since McDermott as highlighted in the rematch but I don't think height and size alone are the only variable here. Usyk is a different fighter to both and could make a tough night for Fury on style.
