Hearn: Haye not the objective for Joshua

David Haye is not the objective for Anthony Joshua... our priority is to develop him into the unified heavyweight world champion https://pbs.twimg.com/media/COc-sm5WwAAS56Z.jpg Has there ever been a better era for British heavyweight boxing? There are big names out there and I believe we have the golden goose in Anthony Joshua. His next fight is obviously topical at the moment. Tyson Fury is the world champion after out-classing the great Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye came back with a bang by destroying Mark de Mori at the weekend. With all that going on, my phone and Twitter have been going none stop about when we are going to put AJ in with them. There will be a time for that and it might even be at the end of this year. But it will not be AJ's next move, even though I have already said here I think AJ would beat anyone. I met with AJ and his training team on Tuesday to talk over the plan. He will be out again on April 9 at The O2 and there are about a dozen fighters in the mix. Like we have said from the start, we will play this smart. Our priority, first and foremost, is to develop AJ into a complete fighter and a unified world champion. We want all four major belts. With that in mind, I would be naive to throw him into a world-title fight before he is at his full potential. We will continue working at the right pace. When will be the right time to fight Haye? Let's see. It is obviously an enormous fight when it happens. Maybe it will be at the end of 2016. He has been very forward in calling AJ out for the fight and I don't blame him. It would probably be the biggest fight that has happened in this country and both men would become extremely wealthy from it. However, AJ is not after a pay day, they are coming naturally to him. He is after world titles. Our plan is to get those titles and if Haye ticks a box in that regard, then brilliant. If one of them gets a title this year or whenever, then they can fight. It would also be an excellent fight. Haye showed against De Mori what we already knew – he is a dangerous fighter with a big punch and fast hands. But like I said, he is not the objective. A title is. And we will continue progressing in April. There are plenty of choices on the British, European and world scenes. You have Dereck Chisora and Hughie Fury, Tyson's unbeaten cousin, in Britain – both would have interesting build-ups. At European level, there is Robert Helenius, the European champion, Johann Duhaupas, who went 11 rounds with Deontay Wilder, and then on the world scene there's the likes of Malik Scott, Bermane Stiverne, Antonio Tarver, Steve Cunningham and Bryant Jennings, who went the distance with Klitschko last year. AJ's progress so far has been perfect, but I know to some extent whoever we choose will draw criticism. Some say I shouldn't rush him; others say put him in with the most dangerous opponents now. We will stick to the plan because this guy is going to become a heavyweight great. I will be announcing that Kell Brook will defend his IBF welterweight world title against his mandatory challenger Kevin Bizier. They will fight on March 26 at Sheffield Arena. Last year was up and down for Kell – he was excellent in beating Jo Jo Dan and then headlined a packed O2 in London. But the rib injury towards the end of the year was really frustrating and now the IBF have enforced their rules so he has to fight Bizier. Bizier is a good fighter but this could be brutal for the Canadian. Kell is seriously frustrated and when he is frustrated he is dangerous. From there, we will see what happens. Amir Khan remains the target and it seems he will have a choice of what to do next – he is mandatory for the winner of Danny Garcia versus Robert Guerrero, who fight for the WBC title this weekend, or fight Kell. Either option would lead to a great fight, with the difference being he would make twice as much for fighting Kell in one of the biggest bouts in British boxing history. Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton is getting closer – only five more weeks. I have to say, I have never in my life been so confident about a 50-50 fight. I am convinced Quigg is going to win. He has been simply phenomenal in training. What happens after the fight will be interesting because of the way politics and boxing seem to mix. In this case it means the IBF will demand the winner fights Shingo Wake and the WBA will demand the winner faces Guillermo Rigondeaux. Not sure how we balance that! We'll worry about that once the Champagne has run out. There's just over a week to go until our first big show of 2016 and it's a cracker at the Copper Box in London. George Groves returns against Italian Andrea di Luisa in a division that's bursting at the seams. Reports are that George looks fantastic in the gym as he begins what must be a final assault on a world super-middleweight title challenge. The card is stacked and two great fights really stand out – Islington middleweight John Ryder comes up against the 'Brit Basher' Sergey Khomitsky in a dangerous clash and there's a real 50-50 battle between John Wayne Hibbert and Tommy Martin for the Commonwealth super-lightweight crown – let's start this year with a bang.
