British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has disclosed that former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is ready to fight Tyson Fury.
Hearn made this known after Joshua defeated Youtube-turned-boxer Jake Paul in the sixth round at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, on Saturday.
The two-time world champion made hard work of defeating his vastly less experienced opponent but finally made his superior size and power count in the later stages of the eight-round fight.

Speaking after the fight, Hearn stated that he wants the fight between Joshua and Fury to happen in 2026.
“We want the Tyson Fury fight. That’s the biggest fight in boxing.
“Respect to Jake Paul, he did a great job. 2026, back to the real business. Tyson Fury and the world heavyweight championship.”
Like Joshua, Fury is a multiple heavyweight world champion and a fellow Englishman, but the pair have never fought in the ring.
