Tyson Fury WILL be Anthony Joshua's opponent of choice if restricted to one fight in 2020, confirms Eddie Hearn as heavyweight champion considers sidestepping Kubrat Pulev in favour of Gypsy King showdown as coronavirus pandemic threatens boxing schedule

Tyson Fury will be Anthony Joshua's opponent of choice if he is restricted to one fight this year, promoter Eddie Hearn has said.

Joshua is scheduled to fight Kubrat Pulev at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20 but the ongoing coronavirus pandemic means that date is likely to be moved back.

If the delays go on beyond the summer and Joshua can only fight once, Hearn says his man would want his opponent to be Fury for an all-British heavyweight unification bout.
