From Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury to all American pound-for-pound clash, Eddie Hearn’s five must-see boxing fights
EDDIE HEARN has an all-American showdown and a Battle of Britain on his five-fight wishlist.
Hearn joined forces with his promotional rivals amid the influence of Saudi Arabia’s cash injection into boxing.
So now more than ever, fans can finally get excited with the biggest bouts at last going from dreams to reality.
Hearn gave SunSport his pick of the bunch and we help break down what makes them so special.
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury
Needless to say, it’s the biggest fight the sport has to offer and it is within touching distance.
All that is left to do is the small hurdle of AJ beating Daniel Dubois, 26, on September 21 and Fury avenging defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, 37, in December.
That would set Joshua, 34, and Fury, 36, up for a monster undisputed bout next year.
But, Saudi boxing kingpin Turki Alalshikh has insisted no matter what the individual results, he wants AJ to fight Fury in 2025.
And no doubt most Brits would agree.
Derek Chisora vs Johnny Fisher
Chisora, 40, rolled back the clock to beat Joe Joyce, 38, in a July thriller, proving he does still have more to give.
And the fan favourite is determined to fight twice more to reach 50 milestone bouts.
Fisher, 25, is proving to be one of Britain’s most popular fighters with a huge backing on social media and in ticket sales at 12-0 with 11 KOs but no notable names yet on the record.
Taking on Chisora would be the ultimate crossroads clash but one which would sell out any arena in no time.
Chantelle Cameron vs Sandy Ryan
Cameron, 33, had a thrilling two-fight series with Katie Taylor, 38, which ended one apiece.
She then left Hearn for Frank Warren and returned with victory over Elhem Mekhaled.
Ryan, 30, meanwhile is the WBO welterweight champion and has feuded with Cameron online.
It has all the makings for a real grudge match to spark fans’ interest.
Dennis McCann vs Peter McGrail
McCann is undefeated in his 17 fights and tipped as one of the UK’s brightest talents.
McGrail meanwhile is three years removed from his Olympic campaign in Tokyo.
The super-bantamweight does not have as much time on his hands and needs to get the big fights in soon.
McCann, 23, meanwhile could profit off having a big-named domestic rival with McGrail, 28, the perfect dance partner.
Terence Crawford vs Jaron Ennis
Moving across the Pond and Crawford, 36, has a strong claim as the world’s best boxer.
He is a champion in four divisions and recently moved up to light-middleweight to beat Israil Madrimov for the WBA strap.
Ennis, 27, meanwhile inherited the IBF title vacated by Crawford at welterweight but he is willing to move up to fight his American rival.
It would be a classic battle of youth versus experience with unbeaten records going on the line.
