Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte & Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk fight dates shared by Eddie Hearn

Anthony Joshua declined the offer of £15m to step aside and let Tyson Fury fight Oleksandr Usyk because he doesn't trust the Gypsy King.That's the view of AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn with Joshua having lost his heavyweight titles to Ukrainian Usyk last September.

The deposit has gone in and plans for the huge event are being finalised.We will announce the date and venue once all the details are ironed out so stay tuned.We are in contact with Whyte’s lawyer and are confident he will sign soon to face the Gypsy King.Why wouldn’t Whyte want to take this fight for the WBC heavyweight title?He’s getting paid a hell of a lot of money for it and it is his chance to fight for a major belt against the best on the planet.I’m not sure why interviewers keep asking Eddie Hearn for details about the fight as it has absolutely nothing to do with him. Unless Dillian tells us otherwise, Matchroom are not representing Whyte for this fight, and we will continue working on finalising everything through the parties Whyte wants, which is not Matchroom.

Oleksandr Usyk made his footballing debut for Ukrainian second-tier side FC Polissya on Friday - and missed an absolute sitter just seconds after coming on.The Ukrainian, who beat Anthony Joshua in September to win the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight straps, has been training with the club for the past couple of weeks.Coming on at centre forward with his side leading 2-1, the 35-year-old spurned an easy chance to put the game to bed when the ball was laid on a plate for him just a few yards out.Despite shrugging off his marker with an impressive dummy run, Usyk fluffed his lines moments later after swinging a leg at, and completely missing, his teammates' cutback.It didn't matter in the end though as Polissya held on to secure victory.The team are currently preparing for the new season, which begins in March, at a winter training camp and arranged for Usyk to take part in some of their pre-season tournament friendlies.Over the past few days he's been taking part in training drills and small-sided matches with his Polissya teammates, and there's even talk of him being offered a contract with the club.Who do you think is better at football - Oleksandr Usyk or Usain Bolt? Let us know in the comments..."If Usyk strengthens our team, we will offer a professional contract, if not, we will just give a chance to try his hand at football," Polissya director Volodymyr Zagursky told The Times Hub."What will Usyk's participation in the tournament look like? These moments are kept secret.

Anthony Joshua this Thursday when the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion plays for a professional football team.Usyk, 35, stunned the boxing world at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September when he outclassed Joshua over 12 rounds to take a unanimous points win.The result scuppered any hopes British fans had of seeing a long-anticipated unification bout between Tyson Fury and Joshua in early 2022, but 'AJ' promptly signalled his intention for revenge by triggering his clause for a return bout.Instead, Joshua is set to face the Ukrainian in the Spring, with Fury instead preparing to put his WBC crown on the line against Dillian Whyte.As negotiations run on, Usyk is staying in shape, although not quite in the manner many fans would expect him too.However, the notion of a second clash came under serious threat last month when Fury's team offered the 32-year-old a sum in the region of £15 million to step aside and let 'The Gypsy King' take on Usyk, a proposition he duly turned down.The decision from AJ has left Fury seething, and Usyk will have to wait that little bit longer to fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown.Would you play Oleksandr Usyk as a central striker or midfield enforcer?
