Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua Could Relinquish All Their Titles In Order To Secure Fight

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have made it known they want to fight each other.

After Fury knocked out Deontay Wilder in the rematch he called for the Joshua fight and it only picked up steam following Joshua’s win over the weekend. However, as they angle to make the fight, the governing bodies want them to face their mandatories so there is some thought of just dropping the titles.

“We have a fight on our hands, and sorry to the governing bodies, that eclipses all belts,” Hearn said (via TheSun). “We’ve just got to be a bit careful because you may be on the verge of saying, ‘Let’s just get rid of politics right now. Let’s just drop all the belts because if we lose one belt, we might as well lose them all.’

“You’ve got the biggest fight in world boxing, You are paying each governing body hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now you have got another guy (Usyk) who probably wants seven figures to step aside,” Hearn continued. “We have just got to be careful because ultimately the aim of this fight has always been to be for the undisputed championship. We will do whatever we can to make sure that every belt in boxing is on the line in the Tyson Fury fight. What we won’t be is held to ransom and we won’t let politics get involved in a fight that boxing needs.”

The hope for both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is the fight can be made in 2021 with all the titles on the line. However, both men are open to the idea of vacating the belts so they can make the fight as it is a legacy-defining bout for both men to cement their case as the best heavyweight and best UK heavyweight.
