Eddie Hearn challenges Tyson Fury to come watch Anthony Joshua fight
Joshua vs. Prenga: Only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury look to be on a collision course.
To finally see the British heavyweight showdown, there's one final obstacle standing in their respective ways. On Friday, Fury takes on Mariusz Wach in Thailand, and Joshua fights on Saturday against Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, live and exclusively on DAZN PPV.
Logic would be that Fury makes the trek to Jeddah if he takes care of Wach and see if Joshua can handle his business with Prenga and have the long-awaited staredown with his fierce rival. But Fury told IFL in an interview earlier in the week that he wouldn't be attending the fight and would be returning to England to see his family. Joshua's promoter at Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, on Friday in an interview with TalkSport, made a challenge to Fury.

"I will always tell you that it's squeaky bum time," Hearn said. "But we should be good enough. We should be professional to go out there and do a demolition job on Kristian Prenga. And hopefully, Mr. Fury gets on the plane after his little jaunt in Pattaya and comes and sees us on Saturday to get in the ring and announce this thing because it's done.
"Listen, Fury's been out today talking his stuff. He's fighting Mariusz Wach, who's about 64 years old. He's lost eight times in the last 10 fights [Wach is 3-7 in his 10]. He's going to be a spar."
