    True according to Hearn who says he has never met Frank.

    Does seem amazing though.

      It would make a lot more sense if he signed with Frank who he already has a relationship with and where he can join Billy Joe.

      But then Hearn can dangle the sky carrot.

      There are problems in the UK. Warren and Hearn won't work together outside of a purse bid scenario. Both have deals with two different TV Channels. If Fury was to sign with Frank like I expect then that does make the Joshua fight harder to make.
      I don't think fury is tameable enough for sky though he's too feral the man eats boars testiculars can you imagine him going off on one ripping into bellew calling him a gay plumber from Liverpool like he did on channel 5 about price couple years ago lol. The interviewer shat his pants and said you are on live TV tyson. It didnt stop him

        That's crazy! Even if they are actively trying to avoid each other, you'd think they would have bumped into each other at some event or something. Now I want Fury to sign with Warren so they have to meet to make that fight with Joshua.

          According to Eddie Hearn yeah.

          Frank has met Barry obviously.

          It is crazy when you think about it!

            hearn probably proposing huge upfront signing fee plus huge guarantees. hustle move by promoter . top rank do that all the time. fury should ask for % split without a promoter

              If it's true then the potential Wilder vs Joshua showdown will be pushed back until next year. Those two are probably going to be pitched together before the end of the year. That is Joshua vs Fury.

                Hearn shot this down. So nope doesn't look like Fury is signing with Matchroom.
                "There have been a lot of rumours that he will join up with us. That's not true, as far as I know," Hearn exclusively told Sky Sports.

                "We're not close to any kind of agreement. We've had some conversations. I think he's talking to other (promoters) right now."
