Joshua's most dangerous opponent is Whyte… not Fury or Wilder, says Hearn

And Eddie’s father, whose son is the promoter for the British boxer, also believes WBC champ Deontay Wilder would be the easiest fight for AJ as the American “can punch but he can’t box.”


But Hearn wants to see Joshua face the Gypsy King at Wembley Stadium in four months’ time – although he admits it will be tricky to arrange.

Speaking to Love Sport Radio, the 70-year-old said: “I’d be very happy to fight Tyson Fury on April 13th as well.

“And the reason being… Tyson Fury can box but he can’t punch, Deontay Wilder can punch but he can’t box, AJ can punch and he can box.

“It is a big fight. It’s complicated because Tyson Fury’s on BT, we’re on Sky.




“Tyson Fury’s promoted by Frank Warren, we are obviously the market leaders and industry leaders so there’s all sorts of egos and money coming in.”

Despite having a date booked in at the National Stadium, with many expecting to see an all-British showdown between AJ and Whyte, Hearn says his boy Eddie could switch Joshua’s next fight from Wembley to New York’s Madison Square Garden in order to face Jarrell Miller.

He added: “If those two are not coming to the party quickly I would imagine that Eddie is looking at Jarrell Miller in New York as a Madison Square Garden debut for AJ would be commercially very solid.

“And then Dillian Whyte who I think is pound for pound the most dangerous heavyweight out there.

“If I was ranking them in danger, I would say that Deontay Wilder is the easiest fight.

“I think Jarrell Miller is an unknown fight because we don’t know how good he is, he’s a big lump.

“I think Tyson Fury is a tricky fight but when you hit him he does tend to fall over although to his credit he gets up again which is remarkable and I’ve got the greatest respect for him for what’s he’s done, pulled himself together from the brink, brilliant story, and the most dangerous is Dillian Whyte.”
