EDDIE HEARN has told Tyson Fury to “hurry up” and win a third fight with Deontay Wilder so he can meet Anthony Joshua in November.
Beaten Wilder will trigger a rematch clause and set up a summer bout with the Gypsy King.

But promoter Hearn is desperate for AJ to meet Fury in a multi-million-pound clash.
Hearn said: “People don’t want the third fight. They’ve had 19 rounds now, Wilder’s probably won three of them and in the last fight he got battered.
“But I understand the contractual position. He does have a right to a rematch clause.
“I’d just say ‘Hurry up, please’ and do it quickly.
“We just hope they get on with it and get it out of the way.”
In the meantime, WBA, IBF and WBO champ Joshua faces a mandatory defence against Kubrat Pulev. Hearn added: “We can’t get Fury, we’ve got to fight Pulev and we’ll get that out of the way.
“Hopefully, Fury can get his out of the way and we can get this done in November or December this year.”
WBC champion Fury received a hero’s welcome at Manchester airport yesterday following Saturday night’s demolition of Wilder in Las Vegas.
Along with Joshua’s mega-money rematch win over Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia, Fury’s spectacular seventh-round TKO left British fans fearing they would struggle to see their heroes on home soil again.
But Hearn is eyeing a potential unification bout at Wembley for the pair, who now rule the heavyweight division.
He said: “No banana skins, all business.
“AJ beats Pulev at Tottenham Hotspur, Fury beats Wilder again, probably in America and let’s make it happen.
“You’ll get some crazy numbers around the world to host it but how often are we going to get the chance for two Brits to fight for the undisputed heavyweight world championship?
“To do it at Wembley Stadium would be special.
“We’ve got the chance now to make an undisputed fight between two British champions.
“We would be daft not to make this happen.”
