English boxing manager and promoter of current WBC heavyweight champion, Frank Warren says Joshua versus Fury unification battle “is not a difficult fight to make.”
The founder of BoxNation is expecting a 50-50 deal for the hugely anticipated encounter “Whatever is on the table is 50-50.” Warren said
“Fury is the No 1 heavyweight but we don’t say 60-40. 50-50 down the middle. Once we get the offer that we’re supposed to be getting, we’ll be in a position to sit around the table and knock it into shape.
“It’s not about me or [Joshua’s promoter Hearn’s company] Matchroom. It’s about getting this fight made. If we can’t make this happen between us, then we’ve got to point the finger at whoever doesn’t make it happen.”
Warren made it clear their readiness to go past Deontay Wilder for the much anticipated Anthony Joshua fight.
“If an offer came up, that the Pulev fight had to be avoided, or our contracted Wilder fight had to be avoided, then we need to make that happen. Let’s get it on.
“We’ve been waiting for various offers. Nothing has arrived yet. There have been ongoing talks.”
The co-owner of Queensberry Promotions with his son had reservations though, as he casted some doubt on the possible matchup, when quizzed if Fury was interested.
“Fury? I know I speak on his behalf – he wants the fight. More than anything, he wants the fight.
“I don’t think Matchroom want the fight. All day long, Tyson Fury beats AJ.” Frank Warren expressed.
