Joshua Unfazed By Fury’s Retirement Bombshell, Says Eddie Hearn
Anthony Joshua, the two-time heavyweight champion, has remained tight-lipped following Tyson Fury’s shocking retirement announcement, according to Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn. On Monday, Fury, known as the “Gypsy King,” stunned…Joshua Unfazed By Fury’s Retirement Bombshell, Says Eddie Hearn
the boxing world by declaring he was stepping away from the sport. His announcement comes on the heels of his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month. In a short video message, Fury said, “I’ve loved every single minute of it, but I’m going to end with this: Dick Turpin wore a mask.”
Boxing fans had hoped for a long-awaited clash between Fury and Joshua in 2025, a fight estimated to generate £150 million. However, Fury’s announcement has cast doubt on the highly anticipated showdown.
Despite the news, Hearn revealed that Joshua hasn’t reacted publicly or privately to Fury’s decision. “Josh doesn’t get caught up in the noise,” Hearn told iFL TV. “He’s not going to call me up about Fury’s retirement. He’s focused on rebuilding and getting back to winning ways this year.”
A Strategic Move?
Hearn hinted that Fury’s retirement could be a negotiating ploy rather than a genuine farewell. “This could be about getting a better deal or maybe he’s lost the fire after back-to-back losses,” Hearn speculated. “But my gut tells me we’ll see Fury and Joshua face off this summer. It’s too big a fight to walk away from.”
Whether Fury’s announcement is heartfelt or strategic, Hearn remains confident that Joshua will stay focused on his own path, prioritizing his comeback after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September.
For now, fans must wait to see if the dream fight between these British heavyweights will ever materialize.
