Promoter Eddie Hearn asked Tyson Fury to “throw us out of our misery” after the guidelines in social media and irritating himself from the former heavyweight master, whom he could return to boxing for the fight against Anthony Joshua.

Fury and Joshua have long been associated with what was described as one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing, but a great fight never happened.

When the Fury retired again in January, the fans were afraid that they would never see the British heavyweight clash, but Fury suggested in social media that he could still return.

Hearn, a promoter of Joshua, said that the fight could now be made in “one phone”, but in any case he made a decision.

“I feel that Tyson Fury is really a bit of a puff, right? I mean, everything we see on Instagram is him” Hearn said Sky Sports.

“Even today I left the press conference, I went to Instagram, [Fury is] There with wrapping on 12 rounds of boxing. Why are you doing this to us? What are you doing?

“Just let us know. Put us from our misery.”

Last month, promoter Frank Warren told ESPN that he wanted to see the fight despite the retirement of Fury, but he said he would not try to convince him to fight.

Joshua will have an elbow injury surgery and he is expected to return to the ring at the end of the year, regardless of whether he is fighting fury or not. However, Hearn did not hide that he wanted Joshua to fight fury.

“We are dependent on Tyson Fury.

“He is such and such a competition and I just know in his mind that he will want

Super featherweight Nelson Birchall (13-0, 10 KOs) handed Levi Giles (17-4-1) his first stoppage defeat with a seventh-round TKO.
