Sky Sports Boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\nHearn could have set up a third fight between Joshua and Usyk if he\u2019d wanted to. It\u2019s not like the fight would have been impossible to make. AJ and Hearn would have needed to campaign for it. If Eddie had asked Turki Alalshikh to help him out on this, he\u2019d likely have made the Joshua vs. Usyk fight by now.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like the reality is, Tyson Fury\u2019s coming off two defeats. The trilogy being 2-0 down is not really something that happens a lot,\u201d said Hearn about a potential trilogy between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n
Hearn is right. You rarely see a third fight when the first two were won by one fighter. Fury did it before when he fought Derek Chisora for a third time after beating him in the first two fights.<\/p>\n
Fans Want AJ, Not Usyk<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one\u2019s interested in Fury against Usyk, no one\u2019s interested in AJ against Usyk, they\u2019ve seen it twice and it was the same result both times. People are interested in AJ against Fury
I don\u2019t know what the delay is for the inevitability of just saying Of course, let\u2019s make the fight,\u201d said Hearn. I think [it has to happen]. Why delay the inevitable?\u201d<\/p>\n
There are a lot of fans who are very interested in seeing Usyk and Fury fight again. It\u2019s entertaining watching the two during the build-up, listening to \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 play the victim role, trying to get fans to pity him. He\u2019s the poor rich man.<\/p>\n
Closure Before Chaos<\/p>\n
Hearn needs to get it through his head that Fury is convinced that he deserved the victory in his two fights with Usyk. He believes he can beat Oleksandr in the third fight, and he wants to avenge those losses before he can move ahead to fight Joshua.<\/p>\n
Once Tyson gets some closure on what happened in the two Usyk fights, he\u2019s going to target Joshua. He knows how much money will be at stake, and he\u2019s not going to target a smaller payday against someone equally as tough, if not tougher.<\/p>\n
