AJ and Fury are finally set to step into the ring this year to put all the heavyweight belts on the line.
Hearn reckons it could be one of the ‘biggest fights of all time’ but is naturally backing his man to do the business.
He told Sky Sports: “Anthony would say that he’s tailoring his training for his career.
“He is training, sleeping, resting. I want to rein him in for a rest.
“He is so focused. Although he’d tell you that he’s training just to improve as a fighter, I know that all he’s thinking about is Fury.
“He’s working on the plan to beat this guy and become undisputed.
“I love the work he’s doing, the improvements he’s making, the mind-set.
“He has the mind-set of a winner, of a champion.
“Fury is a fantastic fighter but AJ will do a job on him.
“The preparation starts now. Don’t think Fury isn’t doing the same. He knows. This may be the biggest fight of all time.”

The blockbuster bout is expected to take place this summer.
June was originally pencilled in but with UK lockdown restrictions potentially lifting at the end of the month, it may get pushed back to July.
A two-fight deal, which will see both men split the purse from their first meeting evenly, was agreed last June with contract negotiations near completion.
‘NEARLY THERE’
Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum told The Daily Mirror: “We’re nearly there.
“As far as I can ascertain, there are no issues separating the two sides. There has been consensus agreement in all issues.
“We hope very shortly that the fight will be signed. Then we will pick the site and we’ll be up and running.
“I’m looking towards late June or early July for the actual fight to take place.”
Arum’s update on the potential date for the fight comes a few days after he revealed the fine details of the £200million bout had been ironed out.
