EDDIE HEARN has admitted he was 'lost for words' after watching the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight.<\/p>\n
The Battle of the Baddest brought the heavyweight boxing champ and the UFC legend together in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fury laboured to a controversial split decision win, which divided pundits.<\/p>\n
While in the third round, the Gypsy King was dropped by his opponent in devastating fashion.<\/p>\n
The performance left promoter Hearn unimpressed.<\/p>\n
He then called for Fury to take on his fighter, Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m absolutely lost for words. Fury looked like he\u2019d never laced up a pair of gloves before. I thought Ngannou won by two rounds," Hearn said.<\/p>\n \u201cForget Fury vs Usyk, no-one\u2019s interested, just give us Fury vs Anthony Joshua. AJ will knock Fury out inside six rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n The so-called Battle of Britain has been on the table for some time, and was mooted to finally happen in September of this year.<\/p>\n But AJ reportedly snubbed it in favour of continuing to negotiate a huge pay day by fighting Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia later this year.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Fury co-promoter\u00a0Frank Warren\u00a0lambasted Joshua for his decision to turn down a September showdown, although\u00a0Bob Arum\u00a0sees the logic behind it.<\/p>\n The 91-year-old told\u00a0Boxing Social: "Why would he want to fight\u00a0Tyson Fury\u00a0now when he can wait for the Saudi money in the winter and fight Wilder?<\/p>\n "This is a business for them."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Fury's bout with Usyk is also off and could be delayed until as late as February.<\/p>\n Warren confirmed that his fight against Ngannou has probably nudged the four-belt showdown well past Crimbo and toward a bloody Valentine's date.<\/p>\n The hall-of-fame Queensberry promoter said: \u201cIt is too soon to talk about what Tyson does right now but the Usyk fight is signed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will go ahead but it will not be on the 23rd. It was crazy for some people to suggest that it could still go ahead on the 23rd.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is 35-years-old and has just done a 12-week training camp and has just been in a tough fight.<\/p>\n \u201cHe needs a break with his family, he needs to switch off and we will announce the date when we are ready. But the fight is signed. The fight will happen.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will happen early in the new year, late January or February. It will be up to Tyson, it is his body.<\/p>\n \u201cHe wasn\u2019t smashed to bits at all but he needs a break.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>OFF FUR TABLE <\/span><\/p>\n
