Eddie Hearn warns Tyson Fury to end retirement within weeks to secure Anthony Joshua fight at Wembley Stadium this summer

Promoter Eddie Hearn has thrown down the gauntlet for Tyson Fury, stating that the heavyweight must end his recent retirement within weeks if fans are to witness the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua this summer.

Time Running Out for a Blockbuster Bout

Fury’s surprise retirement announcement has left the boxing world questioning his next move, but Hearn warns the clock is ticking.

The promoter previously secured dates at Wembley Stadium for a potential showdown in May or June, but with large-scale promotions requiring months of preparation, Fury’s decision must come soon.

Speaking to Mail Sport, Hearn explained, “If we want to see this fight in the summer, Fury needs to return within the next three or four weeks.

Beyond that, it becomes too challenging to organize something of this magnitude in time.”

Joshua’s Backup Plans in Motion

While the focus remains on Fury, Joshua is actively exploring alternative matchups.

Hearn revealed that one possible route is a bout with the winner of Daniel Dubois’s IBF world-title fight against Joseph Parker, scheduled for February.

This contingency plan keeps Joshua ready and in the mix for high-profile fights.

Fury’s Silence Sparks Speculation

Since declaring his retirement on Monday, Fury has been unusually quiet, fueling speculation that his announcement may be a negotiating ploy.

Many fans and experts believe this is another twist in the ongoing saga of Fury’s career, leaving the door open for a dramatic return.

With the boxing world holding its breath, the question remains: Will Tyson Fury step back into the ring and finally face Anthony Joshua, or will this dream matchup remain just that—a dream?
