Tyson Fury v Anthony Joshua? Eddie Hearn pushing unified heavyweight title fight

• Fight report: Tyson Fury destroys Deontay Wilder
• Fury hailed as an all-time great

The Gypsy King added the WBC and Ring Magazine titles to his status as lineal champion after a brutal seventh-round stoppage over the previously unbeaten Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas on Saturday night and there's now a clamour for him to face Joshua in what would be the biggest domestic fight of all time.

Fury was asked about his future plans in the wake of his triumph, saying: "The spoils of war are fresh. I need to enjoy this victory and Deontay needs time to recover. But I'm almost sure he'll take the rematch because he's a dynamite puncher and he can take someone out at any time.

"With that level of danger, you can always win a fight. I'm sure we'll do it again if he wants to. If he doesn't want to, I'm happy with whatever my promoters say. Whoever's next gets the same treatment, that's for sure."

"Whoever's next will get the same treatment."

Joshua reclaimed the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles after beating Andy Ruiz Jr in impressive fashion back in December and Hearn said on TalkSport: "What a time for British boxing. To have one world heavyweight champion would be great but to have two with all the belts, we will never see it again.

"I have said and I will make this clear, we have to make this fight happen. We will never get the chance for two Brits to fight for an undisputed heavyweight world championship.

"I will promise you we will do everything we can to make this fight happen.

"The first thing is that Wilder has the rematch clause. I don't think anyone wants to see a third fight, it was that conclusive, but we will see if he wants to exercise that. I probably expect Wilder (to take the rematch). I don't see where else he has to go.

"Our mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev is also promoted by Bob Arum, Tyson Fury's promoter, so there is a very easy manoeuvre there if Wilder doesn't want the rematch to go straight into this undisputed fight in the summer. That's what we have to push for initially."

Hearn added: "Our preference is to go straight into it because it would be undisputed. We will never get the opportunity in this sport to do it again with two Brits.

"I have already spoken to AJ, he wants this fight. He has zero fear of fighting Tyson Fury and he wants to be undisputed.

"Every country in the world will try to get this fight, for me it should happen in the UK. First things first, let's get the fight made.

"We think as Joshua's team that we win this fight, they believe they win this fight.

"It has become not just the biggest fight in British boxing history, it has become the biggest fight in the history of the sport worldwide."

Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury: Round-by-round

• ROUND ONE

Fury rushes across the ring to meet Wilder but a tentative opening minute ensues before the Briton begins to exert his aggression. A left hook, right hand combination land and Wilder manages a reaching right hand.

• ROUND TWO

A big right from Wilder lands quite cleanly but Fury is not bothered. A Fury left hook looks decent before a left-right has Wilder quickly clinching.

• ROUND THREE

Fury hurts Wilder again early in the third with the American swinging away wildly. But a perfectly-timed right hand lands on Wilder's left ear, sending the champion down. He gets up quickly as Fury goes after him, hitting the deck again in what was a slip.

• ROUND FOUR

Fury goes looking for the finish with Wilder still possibly struggling from the previous round. Both men swing away, with Wilder slipping again.

• ROUND FIVE

Fury lands another huge right hand before, moments later, a right to the head and left hook to the body put Wilder down again. Again he rises quickly.

• ROUND SIX

Wilder looks exhausted and bewildered but still trying to find the saving right hand. Further left hooks ensure Fury finishes the round superbly.

• ROUND SEVEN

Wilder looks ragged and running on empty and he is hurt by another left hook. More lazy right hands follow from the struggling champion, who naively seeks solace in the corner. Fury then pins him in the opposite corner and peppers him with shots, prompting one of Wilder's corner to throw the towel in.

His next test was a rematch with Chisora for the European, WBO international and British heavyweight titles and he again triumphed by forcing his domestic rival to retire in the 10th round.

2015 February: Tyson Fury's last fight before his world title showdown with Wladimir Klitschko saw him stop Christian Hammer in the eighth round.

2015 November: An iconic night in the Gypsy King's career - and for British boxing - as he outclassed Klitschko with an unforgettable display in Dusseldorf to win on points and to take the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, Ring Magazine titles as well as the status as lineal heavyweight champion.

2015 December: Stripped of his IBF title less than two weeks after winning it for agreeing to face Klitschko in a rematch in July 2016 instead of mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.

2016 June: Postpones rematch with Klitschko after spraining his ankle in training. Shortly afterwards, it is reported he failed a drugs test for the banned substance nandrolone. He denies any allegations of doping and insists he is "baffled" by the reports.

2016 September: Again withdraws from his rematch with Klitschko, which had been rescheduled for October. A statement from his manager said he had been declared "medically unfit to fight", while those around him reveal he is suffering with depression. New reports soon emerge that Fury has tested positive for cocaine.

2016 October: - Takes to Twitter to announce his retirement, before backtracking three hours later. He also gives an interview to Rolling Stone in which he appears to confirm reports he had tested positive for cocaine by saying he had "done lots" of the drug. He says: "I don't know if I'm going to see the year out." Vacates his WBO and WBA heavyweight titles the night before the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) suspends his licence pending investigation into "anti-doping and medical issues".

2017 March: Suggests a return to the ring is set for May despite being without a boxing licence. Several days later on Twitter he describes his battle with depression as "the hardest fight of my life".

April: Becomes embroiled in a war of words with Anthony Joshua ahead of the Londoner's world title showdown with Klitschko at Wembley, and claims he will return to boxing in July. Immediately calls out Joshua after the 2012 Olympic champion knocks out Klitschko, saying he would win a fight against Joshua with "one arm tied behind my back".

May: Fury's anti-doping hearing is postponed. He continues to strongly deny any wrongdoing. The BBBofC says Fury's suspension will not be lifted until his doping case is resolved.

July: Appears to announce his retirement from boxing, hinting on Instagram that an "epic journey" has reached "the end". A source close to the fighter says Fury is "fine" and expected to fight on.

December: Clears a significant hurdle preventing any comeback when he and cousin Hughie Fury are cleared to box again by UK Anti-Doping after they each accepted a backdated two-year doping ban for testing positive for elevated levels of nandrolone in February 2015.

2018 August: Overcomes former two-time world title challenger Francesco Pianeta on points in Belfast. He won every round and had no intention of trying to win early due to his need to get rounds under his belt.

2018 December: Sent to the canvas twice in a WBC heavyweight title clash with Deontay Wilder, who thought he'd won with a brutal blow in the 12th round only for Wilder to get back to his feet and survive until the final bell. Apart from these knockdowns many felt Fury dominated the Los Angeles showdown yet it was controversially scored a draw by the judges.

2019: Stays active with two more victories in the United States - the first being an easy second-round stoppage of Tom Schwarz in June but then had to cope with a bad cut against Otto Wallin to earn a wide points victory three months later. Enjoys a brief foray into the world of WWE wrestling to boost his American profile.

2020: In a highly-anticipated rematch, Fury knocks Wilder down twice en route to a brutal seventh-round stoppage which sees him win the WBC and Ring Magazine titles as well as retain his status as lineal champion.
