Tyson Fury tells Eddie Hearn to stop using his name to sell Anthony Joshua v Joseph Parker
Ex-World champ insists British promoter has had several opportunities to make a dream bout between Gypsy King and AJ
TYSON FURY has demanded that Eddie Hearn should stop using his name to help sell the Anthony Joshua vs Joseph Parker fight.
Fury also told Hearn that the fight between him and Joshua will not happen unless he gets 60 per cent of the purse cut.
The self-proclaimed Gypsy King used his Twitter account to unleash his blast on Hearn.
Fury, 29, wrote: “@EddieHearn please stop using my name on a daily basis to build AJ vs Parker.
But he did not stop there in his rant at Hearn.
The former world champion insisted that the promoter has had several chances to make a fight between him and AJ happen.
He continued: “You have had your chance to make me vs AJ & declined many times!”
Fury reiterated that he will fight his fellow Brit in the summer or autumn of 2019.

And he reminded Hearn that he will only face AJ if they agree to his terms.

Fury added: “I've already told you it will be on my terms & the split will be 60/40 my end. See you summer/autumn 2019.”
Speaking to earlier, Hearn admitted negotiations could prove problematic.
He said: “Everybody wants to see Tyson Fury back and I believe we'll see him back.
“Like I said in interviews last week, we're ready to make the fight.
“It's not a fight that's made over social media, it's a fight that's made in the boardroom.
“It's tricky to make, because it's a voluntary defence for Anthony Joshua, but yes it's a voluntary defence against a contender in Tyson Fury that is a former champion, does have a huge amount of value in the fight as well.”
