Eddie Hearn urges Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder to "hurry up" ahead of Joshua bout

The 'Gypsy King' arrived back in the UK on Tuesday after beating Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas to win the WBC heavyweight belt.

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder have been urged by Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn to “hurry up” with their third showdown in order to pave the way for an all-British world heavyweight title unification fight.

WBC champion Fury arrived back in the UK on Tuesday morning, just hours after Wilder – who he stopped inside seven rounds in Las Vegas on Saturday night – had indicated that he wants to exercise his rematch clause.

Wilder’s decision is set to put a Fury-Joshua showdown on the backburner, with the latter set to defend his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles against Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June.

“The worse-case scenario for Dillian Whyte is he is the mandatory challenge for winner of Fury v Joshua if that fight happens,” Hearn said.

“The bigger issue is if these guys wait or mess around too long then Whyte might have to fight the winner of Fury-Wilder.

“I’d like them to do third fight in the summer, winner fights Anthony Joshua and then the winner fights Dillian Whyte.

“Whyte is going to fight Povetkin in May in the UK – that’s going to be announced this week. Everyone’s got to keep fighting and winning.”
