Eddie Hearn offers to manage Tyson Fury

Written by on 25/11/2017

Eddie Hearn says he would be interested in managing Tyson Fury and the promoter believes he can deliver "the biggest fight in British boxing history" against Anthony Joshua in 2018.

After two years outside of the ring, Tyson Fury was recently given a timely boost with news that his anti-doping hearing will resume in December as his return to boxing gathers pace.

Hearn confirmed that he has spoken with the former unified heavyweight world champion and has offered his help to the 29-year-old.

"I’ve spoken to him," Hearn exclusively told Sky Sports. "I think he needs some help in terms of a team, it’s a process that is complicated.

"He needs the right advice, he wants to box on the biggest shows, be a box office fighter and fight AJ, I can deliver all those things.

"More importantly, not thinking about his next promotional move, it’s more about getting him back in the ring, he has a lot on his plate.

"I understand he is a free agent. I don’t know the ins and outs of that but certainly, if he was we would be very interested in working with Tyson Fury.

"We can give him the biggest heavyweight fights and ultimately work towards the biggest fight in British boxing history."
