Eddie Hearn is hoping that heavyweight Tyson Fury will be making a comeback in 2018 so that he can fight 2 of his heavyweights in his Matchroom Stable in Tony Bellew and Anthony Joshua. The fight between Fury and Bellew would come after the Bellew-Haye 2 rematch if David can make it through training camp for early 2018.

If Fury beats Bellew, then he would face Joshua later in 2018.

Hearn says to Sky Sports making the Fury vs. Bellew fight would be a “simple deal.”

Rumours of yet another David Haye injury quashed by Eddie Hearn/Sky Sports: Bellew return “On”

11/14/201711/13/2017 James Slater

Yesterday, as per ‘Tha Boxing Voice,’ a story broke on how David Haye, who has been training very hard for his must-win return fight with arch-rival Tony Bellew, had suffered yet another injury (groan!) and how the fight was in serious jeopardy.
