Joshua has three ‘dream’ fights as Hearn sets out plans for 2023
“If you’re looking at three fights next for which you hope for him to have, maybe you go Dillian Whyte, [Deontay] Wilder, Fury,” Hearn told assembled media on Thursday. “I mean that would be the dream year, but probably one of them would be nice the way everything’s going.”
“I do feel that AJ – Wilder is just a massive global heavyweight fight. Two titans that the fight could end at any moment. I think it’s a tremendous fight.”
Joshua is expected to return to the ring in early 2023. After sustaining back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, AJ is looking to build his confidence back up again with ‘two quick fights’ against ‘credible top 15 opponents’.
“I got a couple calls about it yesterday, I didn’t even tell Gerald about it. If AJ is really really interested in that then Gerald is ten times better than he was last time they saw him fight so it would be a good element of surprise for them.
“Plus, I think Gerald has the ability to beat almost any heavyweight in the world out there, it’s just about staying alert all the way through the fight. I have got calls from camps telling me that ‘yo, Gerald is out here doing very good’ and I watched him box Deontay for the last three weeks, he gave us a great look. He really gave us a great look when he came back from the Usyk camp – like real real good.”
