Joshua v Fury: Eddie Hearn hits back at Bob Arum's fight claims

Eddie Hearn has responded to claims Anthony Joshua's proposed bout with Tyson Fury is "dead in the water" and called on fans to "keep the faith".

Fury's US promoter Bob Arum this week said the fight was "dead" and that he would not bet on it taking place.

Hearn has said a fight for all four heavyweight world titles would occur in Saudi Arabia in July or August.

He told BBC sports that the deal is agreed and they are waiting for the long-form agreement to be signed.

Hearn, who promotes Joshua, said Arum's comments were "remarkable" and insisted "nothing has changed" in the negotiation process.
