EDDIE HEARN still believes that Anthony Joshua can beat Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury to become unified heavyweight champion of the world.
AJ’s quest took a huge blow in September, when he was outpointed by wily Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Brit was outboxed on the day, but will have the opportunity to avenge his loss in the spring after triggering his rematch clause.
Fury, meanwhile, looked imperious in his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder just a fortnight later.
The Gypsy King, 33, survived twice being sent to the canvas to storm back, knocking the Bronze Bomber out in the 11th round of an instant classic.
Despite the huge challenges to come, Hearn still retains faith in his man.
And when push comes to shove, he also thinks that Fury is a bigger threat than Usyk.
He told The True Geordie: “Tyson Fury I think beats Oleksandr Usyk.

“I do, because of the size, the movement.
“I think it’s a great fight, it might not be the most interesting to watch.
“I believe Anthony Joshua can beat them all.”
AJ has been licking his wounds since his September defeat, but is ready to put the work in to regain his belts.
The 32-year-old has been out in the US working with different trainers in a bid to get out of his ‘comfort zone’.
He has also accepted a stunning offer from Tyson Fury to spar together before the Usyk rematch.
The Gypsy King, meanwhile, has a bout with Dillian Whyte on the horizon – after the Body Snatcher bypassed Otto Wallin following a shoulder injury.
